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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is allowed to add one message to more sections of the message board only through the form and only to the message boards where you have the right insert messages. As soon as the reader reads this message on one of the message boards, the readability is also marked for all other messages inserted in this way. However, it is forbidden to add a message to more than one section message boards individually!

The system records the reading of the message. The messages that are read by the user no longer appear on the title page of the IS MU, nor in the list of messages on the title page of the Message Board. However, they are still in the overview on the message board, only moved down, except for unread messages.

You can return a specific message to unread by clicking on the eye icon:

Read messages that you want to return to later can be marked with an star. Click the gray star next to the message title to add the message to the starred list. The asterisk changes color to orange.

These are then listed in the top bar in the IS MU:

Tags (notes) can be used to indicate interesting messages or to promote messages on the Noticeboard. To add tags to a foreign message, click on the handling key in the upper corner messages and select "Set tags". Here you can create a new public or private tag, or use another one that has already been created. Tags can be inserted by any system user for each message (except Tržiště práce ) . Public tags that have been used to mark a message will be offered in the selected Zprávy se štítkem section:

Yes, you can at any time. You can find it using:

All your messages will be listed. Find the one you want to edit and click. Click on the manipulation key icon in the upper right corner of the message and select "edit message" in the menu that expands it. Finally, confirm the changes in the form with the "Save" button.

Yes, you can restore older messages as follows:

In the "My Messages" section, select the message you want to restore and click the "restore message" link. Then select the section in which you want to insert the message. If a message is too old to appear in the "My Messages" list, it can no longer be recovered.

From the site

enter the desired board (by clicking on its name) and use the "Section settings" option (gear icon). A form will open where you can add a section.

The section name should be concise, up to 64 characters long, and should begin with a capital letter. It is also mandatory to fill in the abbreviation of the newly emerging section. To create a new section, confirm the form by clicking the "Save" button. You can adjust the order of this new section by dragging it in the section list.

Messages from the bulletin board can be canceled by their depositor and the person with the right to manage the given section, or the messages will automatically expire (disappear). The submitter cancels the message by clicking on the manipulation key in the upper right corner of the message by selecting "delete message".

The expiration date (expiration) must be set for messages on Noticeboards, usually the day after the notification event has expired. Expired messages are moved to a special message board Zrušené zprávy z vývěsky. 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.

The advertising board is divided into two parts to ensure the timeliness of the advertisements:

3denní inzerce

Message expiration on this bulletin board is automatically set to 3 days. Advertisers are notified by automatic email and before the expiration date they can extend the expiration any number of times by filling out the form in the IS (always for a maximum of 3 days).

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.

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.

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:

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".

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.

Detailed help on thematic bulletin boards can be found in:

The picture for each message is mandatory on the Noticeboard. If the user does not choose from the IS Gallery, he can upload his own image from his device.

• minimum size 1200x450 px, but for best results 1600x620 px, larger is not recommended;
• the ideal format is JPG;
• the ideal file size is 200 KB, then it will load quickly, the maximum file size is 1 MB.
