Mobile-friendly email, web and myCI changes launch on August 8 and 15
by Peter Mosinskis, Director of IT Strategy in email, employees, mobile, myCI, Outlook, Web site
The Division of Technology & Communication has been
working on several updates to email, web and myCI services to provide a more
mobile-friendly experience to the CI community.
Beginning at 5pm on Friday, August 8, T&C will begin
maintenance to launch an updated web-based version of Microsoft Outlook for
employees. Email will be unavailable at various times during the
maintenance period (August 8 at 5pm until Sunday, August 10 at 8pm). Please review the Outlook and MyCI preview screenshots PDF for screenshots of the new Outlook interface (for desktop and for
mobile devices) to familiarize yourself with the new user
interface. Once the maintenance is complete, you may continue access to your
email via myCI.
On August 15, CI will launch a more mobile-friendly web
site. For background information on this project, please visit: http://beta.harbor.csuci.edu/preview/.
In addition, myCI will have a new mobile-friendly
interface starting on August 15. To prepare for the new look & feel,
please familiarize yourself with the new myCI interface as shown in the Outlook and MyCI preview screenshots PDF.
The functionality of applications in the "My
Links" section of myCI (such as CI Records, CI Learn, etc.) will NOT
change as a result of the myCI update. Aside from some minor re-ordering of
the modules once you log in, the module names and locations have stayed the
same. However, if you have produced documentation using screenshots which
describe processes using myCI, please review your process documentation to
ensure that it is still appropriate.
The URL for myCI will remain the same; you may still access
myCI at https://myci.csuci.edu.
Visitors to the forthcoming CI web site may continue to
access myCI from the forthcoming CI homepage by clicking on the “myCI” link at
the top of the page (on a smartphone or tablet, this means clicking the menu
icon at the top of the page; please see the attached
"ci-web-menu-icon" image for reference.)
Please contact Carlos Miranda at carlos.miranda@csuci.edu or call 805-437-8552 with any questions or concerns about these updates, and thanks
for your support in making CI a more mobile-friendly campus.
