RoseConnect is a connection hub for software services and campus links, offering straightforward access to essential institute software applications.
Each user has a home page made up of “cards” used to organize content and applications. Users have the option to choose the cards that display on their home page and the order of the display. In addition to cards with preset content, there are personal cards like Personal Web Links and Personal To-Do List that are completely user configurable.
The Home Page
Upon login, users are directed to their home page, which is a collection of cards that group and present content. The upper right corner includes icons for the calendar, notifications, and account, with the account icon expanding to display the user profile. The calendar icon is reserved for future use. Systems notifications, like the release of new cards or a reminder for to do items, appear under the notification icon. The upper left corner has an expandable hamburger menu explained in more detail below.
Managing Cards
The bookmark icon in the upper right corner of each card allows users to add or remove a card from their home page. Cards may be reordered by dragging and dropping them, or by selecting the three dots in the upper right corner of the card and choosing "move forward" or "move backward”.
Left Navigation Bar
Selecting the hamburger menu at the top left of the home page reveals a left navigation bar with the options: Home, Discover, and Campus Links.
- Home returns the user to their home page.
- Discover allows users to search for cards or content using the search feature or filtering by card tags that appear across the top of the page. All cards have associated tags to facilitate easier searching.
- Campus Links expands to show links to some commonly used campus applications.
