Overview

Paradigm side menus are designed for all types of users of the system. However, as an administrator, you have the option to customise the menus depending on the menus that you want visible/available for your users' permission level and provide ease of access by showing only menus they are using often. This knowledge article will give you instructions on how to find and toggle the visibility of each menu in Paradigm as a FULL ADMIN user/administrator.

Complexity: Medium

Assumptions

  • You have the level of access required to access the system tab;

  • You have an understanding that making changes within this function can have system-wide implications;

  • You have an understanding of the various permission levels within your institution and the access levels that staff need in order to complete their duties; and

  • You have an understanding of the Australian Tertiary Education System / VET Sector.

 

Key Terms and Concepts

System Side Menu

Menus or options are provided depending on what functions or features you want to use in Paradigm. Each main menu has also some sub-menus under it which you have the option to hide depending on your access level, your commonly used menus, and ease of access.

Permission Level

Your access level is given to you by your institution when it comes to your usage of Paradigm. Users with FULL ADMIN Access are the ones who are advised to make changes on the System Tabs/Menus.

NOTE:

These permission levels are indicative of those available and may not all be in use at your institution. Consult with your "nominated contact person" or other Paradigm experts before making any changes. If you are the "nominated contact person" or Paradigm expert for your institution and need further help, please consult the Silverband Helpdesk for more information.

The table below shows some of the Permission Levels in your institution:

Permission Level

Permission Level

Accounting Member Access

Applicant Level Access

Full Admin Level Access

Marketing Level Access

Part Admin Access (Registrar)

Party Admin group

Public Permission

Reception Member Access

Staff Member Access

Student Level Access

Tutor Member Access

Visibility

You can only change the menu's visibility. Setting it to Hidden would make the menu disappear from the system tabs/menus.

 

 

 

Implications

BE ADVISED:

Editing data in any of these options has implications across the entire system and across various security levels. Please ensure that all of the implications of any changes or updates are carefully assessed before making those changes.

NOTE:

The Side Menu options make up each sub-menu within each Tab of the Paradigm System.

The System Tab and Side Menu Editing options are normally reserved for people with the highest level of system access because changes made here have a system-wide impact on the functions available from the side menu. If a Tab or a Side Menu option is set as hidden for a particular security level, all of the pages and side menu options within that tab or side menu option are also hidden for all users who have that security level.

 

Workflow

Click the of each Main Menu, to search for the Sub-Menus that you want to edit/change the visibility.

 

6 Once you’ve found the menu that you want to edit, click the button (eye icon) to toggle the visibility. Note that a visibility icon with a slash on it means you’re making it invisible/not available to that specific permission level. Remove the slash to make it available/visible.
