• 1.Important messages on the Noticeboard
    The IS users are expected to read the messages of high importance (i.e. those that are marked as red). They are notified of these via their main IS page. The other messages posted on the Noticeboard are of lower importance and their reading is optional.

    1 High importance message notified via main IS page.

    The „Messages of high importance“ section is displayed on the Noticeboard main page. There are both red messages (important for each IS MU user) and blue messages (important for a certain group of people for whom they are primarily intended).

    1 Důležité (červené) zprávy na vývěsce jsou významné pro každého uživatele IS MU.

    2 Modře zvýrazněná zpráva se v sekci „Důležité zprávy“ objeví jen určité skupině osob, pro které je primárně určena.

    To make it easier to keep track of messages that concern the user, it is useful to add the message board, or just a section of it, to the list by clicking on the heart icon next to the section. Entries will be listed and automatically counted on the title page of Noticeboard and will be in the „Favourites“ section.

    1 Mark noticeboard as favourite.

  • 2.Who can post messages on the Noticeboard and of what kind should these be?
    In IS MU we operate faculty notice boards, notice boards for Invitations, otice boards for Advertising and Thematic notice boards. Individual messages can be listed directly on the Noticeboard, or it can be divided into several sections. For individual sections, access can be restricted to certain persons / groups of persons only, and sections can also have a special range of sections to be filled in when inserting a report. If we divide the Message Board into several levels of sections, it is always possible to insert messages at the lowest level.

    You may not have the right to post messages in a particular section or message board, only to read them.

    Holders of the "manage" right for a given section can move, edit, delete, etc. the section and the messages in it.

  • 3.What are the rules for using the Noticeoard?
    The aim of the Noticeboard is to support communication within the academic community of the school.

    Before using the Noticeboard, please make sure you are are familiar with the rules governing the use of MU Information System. If this is not the case, please read them through now.

    Note

    All the operations performed by all the IS users are recorded. The violation of any of the rules may consequently lead to penalties and a serious violation even to being expelled from the University.

    You should refrain from posting the messages promoting racial, , religious and political discrimination, making confidential information (this concerns, for instance, students' grades) and illegally obtained material public (also applies to that which you are not authorized to distribute), using vulgar expression and those violating basic principles of decency. The users will be held fully liable for any damage caused by someone else using their user name and password. Moreover, it is every IS user's duty to select the password that is hard to guess and do his/her best to protect it from any possible misuse.

    The Noticeboard is used for posting messages intended for academic community. For the purpose of posting advertisements and private messages, please use the advertisements sections.

    • The Noticeboard users are not allowed to post their messages in unrelated sections making them irrelevant to the visitors to these.
    • You can add copies of messages to other noticeboards at the same time. However, it is forbidden to insert messages into other sections separately.
    • For seminar group exchange requests, use the Seminar Group Exchange (for more see Help).
    • Advertisements (incl. Copies – crossposting) may only be inserted into the Classifieds section.
    • General invitations having the same meaning for all faculties belong only to the Invitations section.
    • It is forbidden to overuse the Noticeboard by duplicating the same or similar messages (spam).

      Tip

      Users with access rights vyveska_zpravy can insert similar messages in justified cases.

    Crossposting: when inserting a message, it is allowed to check more sections where the message should be displayed to readers. It is forbidden to insert the same message several times in a row in different sections (IS MU would not know that it is the same message, and the reader would have to read it repeatedly).

    Please ensure that you specify a reasonable expiration date for your message since the messages that are not up-to-date prove to be a nuisance. When selecting the group of users to whom your message should be displayed as „blue“, please proceed with prudence since the messages the users find irrelevant are annoying. Messages in the Invitations / Advertisement section cannot be highlighted.

    Important: The messages posted on the Noticeboard expire after some time. The texts that you want to keep displayed for a long time should be placed in the Documents section.

    The IS administrators reserve the right to move the messages the users have posted in wrong sections into the right ones, correct the messages containing mistakes, and remove the messages violating the rules governing the IS use. If any of the aforementioned changes is made, the users are always informed about it by e-mail.

On the 3-day advertising bulletin board, the expiration of messages is automatically set to 3 days (expiration can later be manually extended by another three days).

    Exceptionally, persons with the right to administer the section have the option to keep the message of a permanent nature on the Notice Board without entering an expiration date. This message then remains on the Message Board indefinitely.

  • 12.What is the difference between Inzerce and 3denní inzerce?
    The advertising board is divided into two parts to ensure the timeliness of the advertisements:

    Inzerce
    The abbreviated expiration of messages does not apply to this message board.

    The reader of an advertisement placed in a 3denní inzerce will have greater certainty that the advertisement is currently valid. Conversely, old and often on the Inzerce noticeboard can remain displayed outdated ads.

    If the contribution to the other noticeboard is inserted simultaneously (using the crossposting function) into several groups and at least one of these groups is a 3denní inzerce, a reduced expiration date applies to the contribution.

  • 13.Messages from certain people bother me
    If you don't want to read bulletin board messages from a specific person, you can have that person ignore you. On the selected bulletin board next to the author's report, click on the manipulation key in the top right and select from the menu the "Ignore the author of the message" option. Ignoring is tied to a person, so all messages of that person on all message boards will be ignored.

    1 The option to ignore the person is in the menu of the manipulation key.

    Ignoring messages from school staff will only take effect after administrators have acknowledged that ignoring is justified (eg many people ask to ignore a person's messages).

    For a list of people you ignore, see:

    The Information system Noticeboard (Other applications) Moje ignorované osoby

    It is possible to cancel the ignoring of a person from your list (cross next to the name of the person) and confirm the cancellation by selecting "Save".

  • 14.What is topic-based noticeboard section for?
    Topic-based noticeboard section is offer their founders a wider range of settings (adding new items for inserting messages) and moderation according to their own rules (the owner of the bulletin board can e.g. delete inappropriate messages).

    These message boards can also be used only for a certain closed group of people, by restricting the right to read the message board to this group only in the settings. The thematic message board can be used, for example, for operation of a bazaar with the possibility of deleting advertisements or as an interface for entering messages that can be downloaded to other websites outside the IS MU.
