Owner Workshops

JISCMail list owners' one-day workshops help you get the most out of managing your list. If you want to find out about how to add subscribers, make changes to the list configuration, add files, edit templates, decipher error messages, exchange ideas with other list owners, then these workshops are for you.

About the Workshops

Topics covered in the presentations and demonstrations may include:

  • Web interface - overview of information available on the JISCMail web, examples of different types of lists, searching, adding files and list management (web admin)
  • Error messages and junk mail - what are error messages and junk mail and what can you do about them
  • Netiquette, security and legal issues - good practice as a list owner, security, copyright, defamation and data protection
  • Customising your list - customising templates and for the more advanced, customising a list archive page

During the hands-on sessions, you can look at information on the web service for list owners. You will also use web admin to practice adding and removing members, setting up a welcome message, changing list options and handling files associated with lists.

Discussion sessions allow owners to share ideas and experience.
