There are lots of messages posted on the Noticeboard. Am I expected to read them all?
The IS users are expected to read the messages of high importance, i.e. those that are
marked with
(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.
Here are a few tips for the effective use of Noticeboard:
Scan the headlines of messages, read those you are interested in, and click on
mark all the messages of medium importance as well as all the 'other' ones on
the page as read - an operation which will empty the page.
Use
to contract the folders with the contents
in which you are not interested. These folders will remain contracted and you will no longer
be notified of the numbers of new messages posted in them via the main IS page.
Provided you want headlines of more messages to be displayed on the main IS page, click on
show also messages of medium importance on the main IS page.
