Active Members should be aware of the following: • Events – Creating and Attendance: Student organizations are invited to create their events on OrgSync to assist in their event promotion much alike many of you do with Facebook events. Creating an event is as easy as filling out a web-based form that then appears for all of the community participants to view. For a tutorial on how to create events visit here: http://help.orgsync.com/organization-tools/events. You can also begin to play with tracking attendance at your events. In this tool bar located under the Events tab, organization officers can invite attendees, track attendees and then actually assign credit for attendance. For more information schedule training with the Vice President of Administration or one of the SDCA staff members. You can also read more here: http://help.orgsync.com/organization-tools/events • Files: One of OrgSync greatest attributes is that it creates a place to store pertinent organization information for all current, past and future members. In the effort to ease the means for member communication and provide ample transition materials for your incoming officers we strongly suggest that organizations post agendas, minutes, applications and other organization documents inclusive of your organization’s constitution, planning notes, event documents (contracts, quotes, etc.) here in one centralized fashion. For a tutorial on creating and managing the storage of files for your organization visit here: http://help.orgsync.com/organization-tools/files Forms: generally used when you wish to obtain information from others about a program or service or to have other members of our community vote on or apply for an application process. Since there are so many examples of its use it is best to begin utilizing the forms in your own way as you develop cohesion within your organization. For a tutorial on creating forms and accessing the reports visit here: http://help.orgsync.com/organizationtools/forms People tab and functions: OrgSync enables the officers of an organization to assume titles to their various members in a way to organize and streamline both communication and organization involvement. You may wish for general members only to be able to view, and want your officers to be able to create and edit. All of these functions are assigned to user rights (a security feature built into OrgSync) and are associated with the titles you create in your People tab. The standard user groups set for each organization currently are Officers, Members, Alumni and Advisors. The Student Organization Manual
