The ICS website allows committee members to create topics and upload documents for discussion in their committee forum. In this video, we demonstrate how to do it.
In this example, Marcus would like feedback on a draft of his document. Upon signing into the ICS website, clicking his profile photo will display a list of his committees.
Forums can be accessed from the committee homepage. There is an option to add a new topic to the list of existing forum topics. In order to create a new topic, a title and a short description are required. The item is added to the top of the list.
The next step is for Marcus to add his document. The title is required, and the file can be selected by clicking Upload. Then he clicks And document to page. A link to the document is now available below the title "resources". By writing a comment, Marcus invites the members of his committee to review and comment on the document. Upon clicking Post comment, all members of this committee will receive an email prompting them to visit the forum topic.
The document is viewed by Ashani after following the link in the email. Afterwards, she posts a comment that is also emailed to all committee members.
On the ICS website, committee members can also access their notifications by clicking their profile photo. There is a badge that indicates how many new notifications are awaiting them.
Marcus writes a response to Ashani's comment as soon as he reads it. The discussion continues.
