INFO

A contact is a non-student user who may or may not have an account to directly access Paradigm. Examples of contacts include administration staff, lecturers, teachers, etc.

When adding a new contact or user to Paradigm – what type or level of access needs to be assessed.  Different levels of access can edit or update and access varying amounts of information in the system, from limited student data (Reception) right to Full Admin / Registrar level access for full system access and government reporting. The type of access given to a new user will depend on their position within the institution.

NOTE

Depending on the individual user's levels of access, not all pages will be available or editable. If you have Full Admin access level and the pages still isn't visible, it maybe either not being used at your institution, or have been hidden. For more information contact the Silverband Support Team.

  • System will automatically create a system user login each time a new contact is created. If the contact record is not an active system user, then their login should be set to disabled.

  • This part of the system is not a replacement of the HR application, data entered here may be visible to different types of users. It is therefore not recommended to store sensitive data in the system.

  • There is an option to limit users from accessing and/or editing student related record with a different institution to the one specified against that user. By default, this setting is not enabled. A request can be made via Silverband Support Team to enable this feature.

  • Updating a contact’s name (due to change of name, marriage, divorce, etc.) will not automatically update their user login credentials, this will to be edited in the Contacts Login screen as well as within the user’s record. To do this, a new User Id will need to be created, enabled, and provided a security level and password.

    Attachment for a Contact Record


    1. Load the contact record or refer to the section above "How To Search for a Contact / User record".

    2. Once the contact record has been loaded, scroll to the bottom of the pageClick

    3. When editing an existing File Attachment record, click the pencil icon that appears toward the right edge of the screen, and move to step 5.

    5. Click on the Purpose drop box dropbox and choose the option that represents the purpose of this attachment.

    6. In the Name field, type in the name that we will use to refer to this attachment, such as Signature when the attachment and other details relate to an authorised signature that will appear on the templates.

    7. The Description field could contain for example, the name of the current Registrar or Dean and that name will appear on the templates. Immediately on the next line in the Description field under the name, add the official position title of the person whose signature will appear on the templates. If the position title is not needed on the templates, it does not have to be included here.

    8. The Status field should be set as Published.

    9. The Permission Level field should be set to the lowest permission level that is to be allowed access to read or open the file, such as Staff. It is recommended not to set it to the Student level for security reasons.

    10. It is not necessary to upload an image file in the file attachment record, but if the file contains an image of the signature of the person who represents the provider, and the image should be set to have a transparent background. The transparent background allows for the signature to appear on the template without obscuring any background image that also printed. The image file should be an image file, which is not a document file such as a .docx or .pdf file.

    11. Click the Browse button and select the file from your local computer that contains the image.

    12. When the details above have been completed, click the Save File Attachment button.

    13. Once these details have been added or updated, you are then able to update these details as you please, and the new details will be immediately updated across all report and letter templates that are currently configured to use them.
