This document explains what you see when you log on to TEC.
The Dashboard
When you log in you always start on the “Dashboard.” Below you can see what the dashboard looks like:
General items on the dashboard:
1. Search function: with this function you can search within TEC. It can happen that there are many hits, e.g. for the keyword 'English'. For a better overview you can scroll through the displayed results or use a limiting factor at 'All Types'.
2. Years: Click here for a drop-down menu. Years with a lock are locked and no longer adaptable. The year with a star is the 'defaukt' year. This is not necessarily the current academic year (but usually is). There are also years with no mark. These are not the current academic years but are still adaptable.
3. NL | EN: here you can choose whether you want to use TEC in Dutch or English. FB-SOZ and the FFB staff manage the texts in Dutch and English.
4. Notifications (bell-icon): if you have received notifications, it is indicated here with a number. If you click on it you will see the notifications.
5. Logged in person/you (user/profile picture): here you can view your own data and change basic settings.
6. Questionmark: here you will find a couple of links, such as the link to screensteps and a link to the TimeEdit website.
7. The Leiden University logo: clicking here will return you to the home screen (the dashboard).Advanced Search: enter a limiting factor in 1 or more lines and click on “Search”.
8. The “i” logo: here is information about this screen.
Example
The image below shows an example of a user with open tasks and assigned roles:
1. Dashboard: click "dashboard" to return to the dashboard from any other screen.
2. General announcements: these are visible to everyone within TEC.
3. Your roles: these are the roles assigned to your TEC account.
4. Open tasks: this is a selection of the tasks currently open to you, grouped by task type. Click on 'Show all' to show all your tasks. Clicking on a task opens the workflow in which you can perform the task. After you complete the task, it disappears from your task list.
For more explanation of how tasks work, see the guide: 'How do I handle a task'?
5. Faculties: clicking this will take you to another screen where you can see information per faculty. Here you can click through the faculties and see, among other things, the structure of the various courses, see which instructor is attached to which course, who is the faculty functional manager. This is all read-only. Changing data if you have permissions to do so is done through the established processes and worfklows in TEC within a certain time frame.
