The Forum serves two fundamental purposes:
With respect to administrative tasks with deadlines, specific instructions are emailed to GlycoNet members as necessary. More generally, project members should ensure that information available on the Forum about themselves (their own profiles) and their projects is correct and up to date.
With respect to collaboration, the Forum provides a number of mailing lists for different groups, including mailing lists for each project and for different types of investigators, whose messages are archived in (and can be searched through) the Forum. Moreover, since the Forum is based on Mediawiki, anyone can create new pages within their project namespace (i.e., pages starting with their project prefix) to collaborate with project members. How the Forum will be used for collaboration is left up to the individual projects.
The general public has limited access to the Forum, including -
Typically, your Forum account ID is your name in First.Last format. If you have forgotten your account password you can request a new one, and a temporary password will automatically be emailed to the address specified in your Forum account.

A user's role can change throughout their participation in GlycoNet, and a user can assume multiple roles at the same time. Users with no roles are considered to be "Inactive".
The Main tab of the project contains all the project-related information available to the general public:
Further, Forum users (that are not associated with the project) can also see the Dashboard and the Visualizations tabs of the Project.
The Dashboard is designed to provide an overview of project and researcher activity in GlycoNet. The data reported in the dashboard has already been input to the Forum through the various functionalities of the Toolbox (the sidebar to the left of the Forum user interface). The table has several columns:
The Visualizations of project activity include several tabs:
Project leaders have access to the Project Budget, displayed as a roll-up of the individual NIs Project-related budgets.
Each GlycoNet contributor has a page that describes their activities. This page is accessible -
Each Researcher Page has several tabs:
When the GlycoNet tab is selected under the GlycoNet logo, tabs include access to the Publications (and other product types) created by GlycoNet members. Each of these tabs displays a table that lists the Date, Category/Type, Title, Authors, and Projects of each product. If more information is available, the Title will link to product details, and individual author names will link to their profile pages.
Once logged in, a GlycoNet user can edit any product. Editing a publication will generate notifications to all the authors previously and currently listed for the product.
Main entities in the Forum are grouped and listed by type under the GlycoNet tabs. They are visible after clicking on the GlycoNet tab under the GlycoNet logo.
Most of these pages include a search box at the top of the page that filters table content. For example, the researcher-listing pages can be filtered by name, project, or university.
You can use the Global Search located at the top left of any page to search for most entities in the Forum. The entities that you can search for are:
To add a new member to the Forum, use the Add Member page. The form is submitted to the Forum administrator, who will review and approve the request. Make sure to specify the roles and projects of the new user.
More specifically, when creating a new account for a new HQP,
Then (once the account has been created and the HQP has received the relevant email message from the Forum) you need to indicate your supervision relation; to do that
When a HQP moves on, you have to indicate this change on the Forum. In general, there are many types of changes that can occur in the NI-HQP relationship:
The process to make the corresponding changes to the Forum is as follows:
Under the general term "Forum Products", we include Publications, Presentations, Artifacts, Activities, Press, and Awards. All are rolled up in the various Dashboards.
To add or edit your products, you can go to Manage Products link in the sidebar. You will be shown a table with all the products which you are currently associated with (what this entails is described in detail below, and on the Manage Products page).
There are several ways to add products to the Forum. Each option opens up a dialogue where you will see the following
Products will show up in this list if one of the following conditions is true.
Products which are listed as being 'Private' will not show up anywhere else on the Forum except from on this page. To "release" the product to the rest of the Forum, uncheck the Private checkbox. Once all of your changes are done, make sure to press the Save All button.
The addition and/or editing of a product will send notifications to all persons previously and currently associated with the publication.
A typical cause of "publication not showing up" is that it is not associated with the right persons (as authors) and/or projects. There are two lists of all publications in the Forum; the first one lists the publications recognized as belonging to GlycoNet - [1]; the second includes publications that are not recognized as belonging to GlycoNet (because they are not associated with projects). The correct associations can be made by editing a product.
To change the roles and project membership of a user, go to the Edit Roles page.
NIs can change the roles and projects of their HQP.
Project leaders can request changes to the membership of their projects. These requests are reviewed and approved by GlycoNet administration.
To change your list of HQP, go to Edit Relations. The left column contains your current HQP, and the right contains the full listing of HQP. If one of your HQP is graduating, go to Edit Member, where you can deselect the HQP role for them, add a comment on what they will be doing after graduation, and mention their thesis.
If the HQP is continuing as an HQP in GlycoNet, but you no longer are his/her supervisor, then simply remove him/her from the left column of your HQP list.
On the same form, NIs can edit the list of people with whom they work closely.
Many of the features on the Forum create notifications for various actions. For example, if someone changes your project membership on the Forum, you and the project leader will both be notified. The number of notifications that you have are listed in the My Notifications tab in the page header. Click the tab to view the notifications. The notification is deleted once you have viewed the page that the Notification links to.
To access wiki page for your project, go to the Project's main page and select the "Wiki" tab (this tab will only be available if you are a member of the project). You will see a table of the existing wiki pages. Clicking the title will bring to the wiki page and you will be able to edit it by hovering over the "Actions" dropdown in the top right corner and clicking the "Edit" option. If you would like to create a new wiki page click the "New Wiki Page" button on the "Wiki" tab of the project's page.
Generally speaking, projects will have their own mailing list which is automatically managed by the Forum. Furthermore, there may be role specific and university specific mailing lists. You can view the archives of these lists by going to the My Mailing Lists page. You will only be able to able to view the archives of the lists you are currently in. You can unsubscribe from a list on this page as well by checking checkbox in the unsubscribe column. This will remove you from the list, and prevent you from being re-subscribed to it again in the future.
