Staff working for Ecsite member organisations can publish news and events in their organisation's names in the "Members share" section of the Ecsite website, update their organisation's profile in the Members Directory and upload exhibitions on EXTRA, the marketplace for scientific touring exhibitions. Here is how to... also download the quick visual guide in attachment below.
The Ecsite website works like many social media platforms: it relies on individual users. Everyone is welcome to create a personal account. If you belong to an Ecsite member organisation, you can then join that organisation's group using your personal account. Depending on the role you are given, you will have different degrees of permission to view and/or publish content in your organisation's name.
There are four different possible roles within a group, with increasing levels of permissions:
Once loged in, look for your organisation in the Members Directory, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "I work here".
Your group's Membership manager will get an email asking them to approve your subscription and they will be able to assign you a role.
Log in here (you can ask for a pass word reset). Once you are loged in, you see your user profile: if you are already a member of your organisation's group, in appears under "organisation" in the right hand side column.
Don't belong to the group you should belong to? Look for your organisation in the Members Directory, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "I work here".
Your group's Membership manager will get an email asking them to approve your subscription and they will be able to assign you a role.
To publish touring exhibitions, news and events (accessible to Content Managers, Membership Managers and Membership Owners):
To manage your group and public profile (accessible to Membership Managers and Membership Owners):
To add someone to the group who doesn't have an Ecsite account yet:
To add someone to the group who already has an Ecsite account:
Follow the same steps as in the previous paragraph, except for the final operation: click "add user". To do that you need to know your colleague's user name.
To manage your organisation's settings on Ecsite Move
After logging onto the platform with your usual account, you'll be able to access your organisation's account, to manage its host settings, get a summary of your colleagues' visits etc.
Because accounts are personal, the system has an issue with a single email being linked to two or more accounts. If this is the case, you will experience issues when trying to save changes to your profile. Contact Mariette (below) to sort out this double identity issue!
