Q.. Why do I have pop-ups?
A.
Pop-ups are sometimes clever advertisement or attempts to trick you into giving up personal information. They can be brought on by downloading free software such as Kazaa, or free screen savers, or free icons. And sometimes pop-ups come for no reason at all. However most of them are caused by internet surfing on specific sites that install cookies or temporary internet files on your machine.

Q. Why do I get so much spam mail?
A.
Here at Lee University we have implemented ways to alleviate the mass onset of spam. However, it is impossible to catch it all without catching some legit mail in the process. To reduce the spam you get, do not fill your email address in on internet sites you do not trust to hold them confidential. Or you can open up a secondary email address such as sendspamhere@yahoo.com (which I am sure is already taken) which you could use to gain access to sites that require email address registration. Do not open mail from people you do not know. Often times, people send mass emails out and if you download a file in the email, or visit a link in an email, you verify that the email address is good and receive much more spam.

To test it just open a new email message and type the letter ‘i’; if it automatically capitalizes the letter then your settings are good.

Q.
What are the mapped drives, i.e. U:,S:,T,:?
A.
When a person logs into the computer, network drives are mapped.
  • The S:\ is the General Share that everyone receives when logging onto the network. Files stored here are accessible campus-wide (except for students). Files in the S:\ include standard forms and standard software.
  • The T:\ is the Department Share that almost everyone receives when logging onto the network. Files stored here are accessible within the department. Items in the T:\ contain files and software that each department needs.
  • The U:\ is the individual share that each person receives when logging onto the network. Files stored here are accessible by the person in which the share is mapped. Items in the U:\ contain files and software that each person needs to do his/her job.

Q. How do I used the shared drives to share data instead of attaching files to emails?
A.
Using shared drives to transfer data within a department or within the campus is a better way than via email in some cases. If the file is larger that 2 MB, the file should be transferred via shared drive.

In the screen shot above, the file (Doc1.txt) is being dragged from My Documents to the T:\. There are other ways to get files to a common location. Opening a file and saving the file in the shared drive is another way to get the file in a place where those who need to see it can get to it without sending attachments through Outlook.

Q. Why is the My Documents folder redirected to the network?
A.
My Documents is a folder on the network. The My Documents icon is pointed to the U:\ of the person logging into the network. Since Windows defines the default place to store files as My Documents, My Documents was redirected to the U:\ to keep work related files from being stored on the local hard drive.
Having files on the local hard drive can be dangerous. If a computer has a hardware problem or Windows is installed fresh (Ghosted is the technical term), all the data on the hard drive is lost. If My Documents are stored locally, the files that were there are lost. This is why storing files are the network is so important.

Q.
How do I check my messages if I forgot my voicemail password?
A.
It is not possible to access the Voice Mail without a password. Call Betty Baldree at the PBX (8000) and she will have the password reset. When the reset is completed you will be called to access you VM box using the Default Code (123456). You will then be prompted to change the Password/Code to one of their personal choice.

Q.
How do I get put on the Employee Meal Plan?
A.
First ask your supervisor if you are eligible. If you are, then have your supervisor send an e-mail to the Administrative Secretary to Business & Finance. Providing that your information has been keyed into Payroll, your ID card should be working in time for lunch. You are given a 3.89 stipend to use at the dining hall or at the PCSU.
 

Q. How do I ensure that my computer is getting the windows updates?
A.

Champlain - AS/400
  Q. What is the AS/400?
A.
The AS/400 is an IBM computer that runs the Champlain ERP system for the University. IBM has renamed the AS/400 to be the iSeries Server. For example you may have a Gateway PC on your desk running Microsoft Office, Outlook, etc. We have an IBM iSeries mid-range server running Champlain software.

Q.
How do I connect to the AS/400 to access data?
A.
The AS/400 is an IBM computer that runs the Champlain ERP system for the University. IBM has renamed the AS/400 to be the iSeries Server. For example you may have a Gateway PC on your desk running Microsoft Office, Outlook, etc. We have an IBM iSeries mid-range server running Champlain software.
The IS&T Help Desk will install the required software on the PC. This icon will appear on your desktop. Click it to connect the the AS/400 and start Champlain. Sometimes it will say 'AS400'.

The Champlain database is a relational database. IS&T will configure an ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) connection to the AS/400 to provide access to AS/400 – Champlain data via Crystal Reports and Excel when the need arises. This requires managerial approval and approval from IS&T. Please contact the IS&T Help Desk or Nate Tucker for further information.

Q.
What do I do when I try to access a menu in Champlain and it says I don't have access?
A.
Your supervisor needs to notify IS&T. To grant access and maintain compliance with new FERPA regulations, we need approval from the Manager responsible for the information, and the requestor must demonstrate a need to view/access the information.

Q.
How do I sign on to Champlain?
A.
Your PC must have iSeries Access installed before you can connect to Champlain. Contact the IS&T Help Desk to have it install on your PC. Your supervisor must request access to Champlain along with the specific functions in Champlain that you need to perform.
IS&T will set up a User Profile and password for you. The Help Desk will demonstrate how to start iSeries Access and sign on to Champlain for you using your User Profile and password.
  This icon will appear on your desktop. Click it to connect the the AS/400 and start Champlain. Sometimes it will say 'AS400'.
 

Q. How do I change my password in Champlain?
A.
To change your password:

  • After you are signed on to the AS/400, press the ESC key on your keyboard.
  • Take option 5-Change Your Password
  • Key in your current passwords once, and your new password twice in the spaces provided. Then press ENTER. Your password is changed.
  • Please note, for security reasons there are policies in place on the AS/400 that restrict passwords. Your password must comply with the policy, so your choice for a password may be rejected. The error message will describe the problem. Take this into consideration and try again.

    Q. What is the difference between printing messages and program messages in Champlain?
    A. Printing messages pertain to the situations that need a response in order to print a document from the AS/400 or Champlain. The typically are related to these type of issues:

  • Out of paper
  • Paper jams
  • Load forms
  • Verify alignment
  • Program messages indicate that a Champlain software function has encounter an error, it needs a response to continue, and there may be some further action by IS&T or you to recover from the problem. Always contact IS&T when this occurs.

  • 1. Never respond without instructions from a member of the Champlain support team.
  • 2. Never assume that you know the correct response because at one time you were instructed to take a specific action. Each situation requires the analysis and expertise of the Champlain team based upon the specifics of the current circumstances. Vital data and records for students and the University may be corrupted!
  • Q. I got a 'Load Forms' message when trying to print from Champlain. What does this mean?
    A. The AS/400 is acting as a print server and it remembers the type of form that was last used on each printer for the last report. Champlain has various codes for types of paper.

    You will receive a 'Load forms' message when the AS/400 thinks you need to change the type of paper on your printer. Responses:
    • G – means that you have changed the paper on your printer
    • I -- means you did not change the paper and you want the report to print on the same paper that is currently in the printer.
    Forms types may be:
    • *STD – Standard paper (plain 8.5 x 11; Greenbar, etc)
    • CHK – Checks
    • W2FORM – Payroll W2s, etc.
    Q. I got a 'Verify Alignment' message when trying to print from Champlain. What does this mean?
    A. The AS/400 if giving you the opportunity to make sure your paper is loaded in your printer correctly before it starts to print the report. This does not apply to laser printers, but remember that the Champlain software was written when tractor fed printers and Greenbar paper were all the rage in the Techie world.
    Always respond to this message with an I to avoid getting it again.  Exceptions to this rule apply to Payroll, Accounts, Payable, and other functions that require the loading and unloading of special forms on tractor fed printers to complete job functions.

    Q. What printer will be used when I print from Champlain?
    A. IS&T assigns a printer to your User Profile (ID). There are a few software reports that are directed to specific printer, but this is rare. When you start Champlain, it should open 2 windows:
    • One is used to access the AS/400 and Champlain software.
    • One is used to act like a printer. The AS/400 thinks it is a printer.
      It looks something like this:
       

    •  
      In this example the AS/400 (Champlain) calls this printer HA201P1.
      HA-Higginbotham Administration, 201-Room 201.

    When the AS/400 sends a report to this printer it comes down to your PC .From there, the printer window (session) directs the report to the actual printer in your office or somewhere on the network.
    Choose File then choose Printer Setup from the menu bar on the window to choose the printer.

    Contact the IS&T Help Desk for further assistance.

    Q. How do I make it print landscape vs. portrait?
    A. The AS/400 (iSeries server) is state of the art—technologically speaking, but the Champlain system is very old. Most of the reports were designed for tractor-fed printers using 15” x 11” greenbar paper. Therefore, we encounter a variety of issues when we try to print these reports on laser printers using 8.5” x 11” paper.
    When the printer window receives a report, by default it makes the best determination it can to try to orient the page and choose the most appropriate font to get all of a report on the 8.5 x 11 paper. We can override these automatic controls and force all reports to print portrait or landscape using a specific font, but we run the risk of loosing part of the report when we override the automatic options. 
    Unfortunately, we cannot change the settings for individual reports without redesigning most of the reports and functions in the Champlain software. Therefore, it’s an all or nothing scenario.

    Contact the IS&T Help Desk for further assistance.

    Q. The right half of my report is missing. What happened?
    A.
    See “How do I make it print landscape vs. portrait?” above.

    Q. How do I keep my AS/400 and Windows passwords in sync?
    A. Windows does not automatically change your AS/400 password. See "How do I change my password?" for more information.
    The AS/400(Champlain) has some very strict policies on passwords. If you want to synchronize passwords, it may be best to set your password on the AS/400 first, then change your Windows password to match it.

    Q. How do I navigate the screen in Champlain?
    A. In Champlain, navigation is from Left to Right, Top to Bottom. The Tab key or Back Tab (Shift + Tab) is the easiest way to navigate between data items on the AS/400. The new line key (Shift + Enter) will position the cursor on the 1st data item on the next line below. (If this does not work contact the IS&T Help Desk. We can change your keyboard to allow this.) The available function keys and their descriptions appear at the bottom of each screen in the Champlain system.

    For further information, see Keys and What They Do.

    Q. Keys and what they do in Champlain.
    A. Main keys and their functions:
    • Enter – Press Enter when you are ready to process/save the data on the screen.
    • Page Up/Down – Navigates through lists of data on the screen. Look for a + sign or 'More' at the bottom of the list.
    • Reset Key – This is the Control button on the bottom left side of the keyboard.
      If you have a red X in the lower left corner of the Champlain window, you have keyed data or pressed a key that is not allowed in this screen or data item. Press the Reset Key and try again.
    • Field Exit – This is the Control button on the bottom right side of the keyboard. This key does several things in one quick motion. This clears the data item from the current position of the cursor to the end; and right or left justifies the data in the data item, depending on the data type, then it advances the cursor to the beginning of the next data item on the screen.
    • Escape - This will interrupt the current function and take you to the 'AS/400 Operational Assistant Menu'. You can work with your printer output, Jobs, Messages, and Password.
      Press F3 from this menu to return to your function.
    • Function Keys, Command Keys, or CF Keys
      • These are all used to describe the same thing – Function keys.
      • Function keys are used to initiate special functions available from within Champlain.
      • The available functions keys and a short description of their use appear at the bottom of each screen on the AS/400 and Champlain.
      • Some screens refer to functions keys as CMD (command) keys; i.e. CMD3, CF (Command function keys) i.e. CF3, or F keys (function keys) i.e. F3.
      • Use the F-keys on the top row of your keyboard to initiate these functions.
      • For F1 – F12, simply press the appropriate F-key.
      • For F13-F24 you must press the Shift Key along with the function key. F13 = Shift + F1, F14 = Shift + F2 … through F24 = Shift + F12. (Note: If you need F16, subtract 12. F16 is Shift + F4.)
    Q. How do I interpret the 'green screen' standards and the variations of it?
    A. 'Enter' is always the key to save work and process & store the information on the screen or continue to the next step. Refer to the list of Function keys listed on the screen. You may need to press one of them to initiate a function or perform a specific action.
    Unfortunately, the Champlain system has roots in the dinosaur age. Many functions do not follow a specific standard. If you are in doubt, always contact the IS&T Help Desk.

    Q. How do I interpret the functionality of a screen in Champlain?
    A.
    Screen Functionality:
    • Maintenance – indicates that you can change, add, or remove information with this function.
    • Display – indicates view only capability.
    • Report – Indicates that these functions only produce reports.
    • See "How to interpret the 'green screen' standards" section for further information.
    • IS&T is always glad to assist you with your Champlain questions.  

    Q. Budget system navigation and processing.
    A. Please contact the IS&T Help Desk or the office of the Vice President for Business and Finance. These offices will be glad to provide training and instruction to the budget system or answer any of your questions.

    Q. How to view and interpret messages.
    A. Always contact IS&T when you receive any message from the AS/400 or Champlain that you do not understand.

    Q. What should I do when I get a program message from Champlain?
    A. Do not answer program messages without assistance and instruction from IS&T personnel:

    • Do not press Enter, do not press F3, do not press F12. IS&T requests that you contact the IS&T Help Desk whenever you receive error messages from the AS/400 or the Champlain software system. The Help Desk will direct you to a member of the Champlain Support Team.
    • Do not do anything (press any buttons) until you have spoken to a member of the Champlain Support Team.
    • Do not respond to any messages unless you are instructed to do so by a trained member of the Champlain – AS/400 Support team.
    • Do not press F3 or F12 and try to get a message to “go away”. If you do, the system may take a default response to the message which is usually “C” which means CANCEL. This is usually not a good thing. Data can be lost or corrupted costing the University money and resulting in down time. The potential impact can be very far reaching.
    • The IS&T team member needs to see the message in order to determine the best course of action. The team member will ask you questions and research the exact circumstances that caused the error message. Then he or she will give you further instructions.
    • This is vital to determine the cause of the problem and the right course of action to resolve the problem with minimal impact on the database and the University’s function as a place of business.

    Anti-Virus Software
      Q. How does the Anti-Virus software work?
    A.
     Symantec Antivirus scans every file that is accessed on each computer. The emails are scanned on the
    server and also locally. Making sure that Symantec Antivirus is installed is the best way to prevent virus
    outbreaks. It can be installed by going to http://nav.leeuniversity.edu. Say Yes or OK or RUN to any
    security questions. The process is automatic once it starts. It takes 5 - 10 minutes for Symantec Antivirus
    to be installed. Once the install windows vanish, Symantec Antivirus is installed.

    Q.
    How do I tell if my Anti-Virus software is up to date, and if not how do I update it?
    A.
    Here is a screen shot of checking Symantec Antivirus to see if it is up to date.

    If you do not feel that the Virus Definition Date is recent, click 'LiveUpdate' to start a manual Live Update.

    Q. What do the messages from the Anti-Virus software mean?
    A.
    If you receive a message from Symantec Antivirus it could mean one of the following:
    • Clean Succeeded means that a virus was found and removed successfully.
    • Clean Failed Quarantined Succeeded means that a virus was found and it could not be removed from the file, but was isolated from other parts of the computer so it could not infect other files.
    • Clean Failed Quarantined Failed Access is Denied means that a virus was found and it could not be removed, it could not be isolated, so using the file will not be permitted.
