EMAIL (Outlook)

You will automatically receive an email account upon being hired at UT.  Use this account for all your work-related email communications.  Ask for help from your supervisor or desktop specialist in order to synch your email and Outlook calendars to personal tablets and cell phones. 

Out of Office

If you will be out of town and want to send out-of-office auto-replies, in your Office Outlook calendar,

Go to Tools>Out of Office Assistant…>Send Out of Office auto-replies

Check the box for “Only send during this time range:”  Specify the dates and times you would like it to send the auto-replies.  Under the “Inside My Organization” tab, write in what you would like to be sent out to Sanger Learning Center Staff.  Under the “Outside My Organization” tab, write in what you would like to be sent out to all other persons.  There is no need to turn off this function when you return, because the program does it for you when you specify the times you will be out of the office.

Setting "Rules"

A largesse of the emails processed by the SLC are update messages sent from they MyUGS system.  While it is important to be aware of the functions and events occurring on MyUGS, a majority of these emails will not pertain to your specific field.  As such, setting up an email rule (i.e. filter) on Excel should help reduce the inbox bloat. 

     -To setup the proper rule, click on one of the offending MyUGS emails and select “rules” from the command ribbon.  This will generate an inbox filter based around the content found in the email.  In general, filtering out the [MyUGS] tag in the subject line will take care of most issues.

CALENDAR (Outlook)

Outlook is a tool for viewing/replying to email, as well as, seeing and sharing your schedule with others on your team. 

Once your Outlook account is set up: 1) Make sure your calendar is visible to all Sanger staff. You must grant at least "Reviewer" permission to each staff member under "Calendar Permissions".  2) Be sure to subscribe to the "Sanger Learning Center" calendar by following the steps below:

1. Go to your Outlook Calendar. (Make sure your calendar is selected on the left toolbar).
2. Click "Open Shared Calendar".
   
3. Type in the email - slc.desk@austin.utexas.edu. Once it populates, select that email.
   
4. Click "Open" (see above screenshot). The calendar should load in your "Shared Calendars" list under "Sanger Learning Center".
5. Check the checkbox to ensure that the calendar loads. If you have any issues, please reach out to the Admin team.
   

PHONE

Be sure to set up your answering functions and voicemail during your first week of employment.  You can find directions for forwarding your voicemail to your email here. Directions for using your phone can be found on UT Box, sanger/Staff/using the phone.pdf.

IM CHAT (Teams)

Sanger Learning Center utilize three copiers—two in JES A332 and one in JES A315

The large copier in the workroom of the JES 332 office suite is our main copier printer and the source of the unit’s fax line:  512-475-6838

For RICOH Maintenance or issues call 1-888-456-6457 or reach out to SLC Admin if they are available.

BACS / DOOR KEYPAD

JES 315 is controlled by a proximity card reader rather than traditional key locks (interior office doors will still have regular cylinder/key locks). Most of these doors will be programmed to be open during regular business hours (8am-5pm M-F), but will require an authorized UT ID to open when locked. 

In order to use these card readers, your UT ID card needs to be made from a special card stock that has a card reader element inside.

All other communal rooms and the Main office on the 3rd floor are controlled by a number keypad. Each person has their own code assigned to them. Reach out to the Admin team to gain access.

IT / DESKTOP SUPPORT

All UGS workstations are covered in house via the IT Coordinator. Therefore, if you are experiencing difficulty with your workstation, please contact them by emailing ugs.it@austin.utexas.edu. They will contact you concerning the issue.
