TUTORIAL - BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH VARIOUS FUNCTIONS ON THE ITFA WEBSITE

Another month has flown by, which brings us to yet another successful tutorial session. Very soon you are all going to be experts at using the ITFA website. Yes that’s right! With the help of these tutorials, all our users will have the know-how on how to successfully use the various functions of our ITFA website - www.itfa.org.

In the June issue we will be going through the procedure of creating a new user which may come in handy from time to time. Let’s say you wish that a new recruit in your department has access to the website. In this case, the function will prove useful. We will also be learning how to add a profile picture to a user.

How would you go about creating a new user?

To create a new user in the website, simply hover on the ‘Users’ menu item and click on ‘Add New’.

Proceed to fill in the required fields: Username, Email, First Name, Last Name, Password, Repeat Password, Role, Address 1, Address 2, City, Zip, Country, Telephone and Gender. When done, just click on ‘Add New User’.

How would you add a profile picture to a user?

To add a profile picture to a user, hover on the Users menu item and click on ‘All Users’.

Choose the user you would like to add the profile picture to by clicking on the username.

Scroll down to the section titled ‘Custom User Profile Picture’ and click on ‘Upload New Image’.

The following screen is displayed. At this point, as learnt in previous tutorial sessions, one can either choose an image from the ‘Media Library’ or select ‘From Computer’ to upload a new image.

To select an image from the Media Library just click once on the ‘Media Library’ tab, and then select the image you want to add as a profile picture and click on ‘Select’.

Scroll down and click on ‘Update User’ to update the user profile.

To upload a new image select the ‘Upload Files’ tab on the top left of the page and then click on ‘Select Files’.

Choose the image you want to upload and click on ‘Choose’. Once you have uploaded the image, click on ‘Select’.

Scroll down and click on ‘Update User’ to update the user profile.

And there you have it...another two functions learnt by ITFA expert members!
