Logging into Perceptive

1. To login, use your FDU NetID (Email credentials):

2. After you login, you should have a screen that looks something like this:

Capture

1. To capture a document to store in Perceptive, click on the Capture tab on the main Experience screen.

2. Now the Capture screen will display.
3. Now you will choose the appropriate Application Plan to Use
4. Make sure that in the box on the top left under the Perceptive logo and Capture has the correct Capture Profile you will use to store the document.  In this example, the Ext Capture Profile Learning House Staff has been chosen.  When chosen, the Document Properties box will appear on the right side of the screen with the appropriate field labels.

5. Now click on the Capture tab next to the Capture Profile that you picked.  A new dialog box will appear:

6. Click on the Browse tab.  This will bring up File Explorer.  Choose the file you want to save to Perceptive. 

7. When you click Open, it will bring you back to the Dialog Box.  There will be a pause and when the document has been selected, the message “1 file selected” will appear.  

8. Click on the highlighted tab that says “Done”.
9. The Capture screen re-appears and the selected document will appear in a box on the left.  The Document Properties box will re-appear on the right. 

10. In the first field, choose the drawer in which you wish to store the document.  Now fill in the remaining fields with the appropriate information. 

11. When done filling in the data, click on the Save tab at the top middle of the screen next to the Capture drop down.  
12. Once you click Save, the document has been stored in Perceptive and you will see a “Success” message highlighted in green:

13. The data that you entered will also disappear from the Document Properties box.  Now you are ready to capture your next document for Perceptive going through the same steps that you just went through.

Document Search

1. To search for a document in Perceptive Experience, click on the Documents tab on the main Experience screen.

2. Now the Documents Search screen will display.  On the left hand side, a column labeled “Document Views” will appear showing the drawers for which you will have access.  Please highlight and click on the appropriate drawer where you document resides.  

Also, two boxes will appear in the middle – a white box with the words “Search in the name of the highlighted drawer on the left”. The second blue box says Enter Search Criteria.

• To enter search criteria, click inside the white box.  A new row of boxes will appear between the two original boxes.  These new boxes are the criteria and method you wish to conduct a search.  The first box is labeled “Add constraint”.  It is a dropdown box with a list of keys you may search on.  Name will always appear as the first entry.  Do not attempt to use that constraint.  It is not what you think it might be.   It is a parameter that we do not use.  Choose the constraint or key that you wish from the drop down – usually ID number or Last Name.  The second box is also a drop down box.  It is for the operation that will be performed – normally you would choose “starts with” or “equal to”.  The third box is where you would type in the actual value of the key you are looking for, usually the last name or ID number of the person you are searching for.  There is a wild card that you can use if you are unsure about the spelling of the key or the complete ID number.  The wildcard is the percent sign (%).  An example would be BRAN% or %ancon% or 01234%.  Also in the case of ID numbers, the leading zero is important to include.  If searching for ID# 0956712 using “equal to” you must make sure that the leading zero is included. 

• Below is an example of a search where I want to find MIS COLLEAGUE Account Requests for anyone who has an ID number beginning with “14”.  I would click on the clear white box to get the three prompt boxes.  I would then put in the Constraint (Key), then the operand and finally the value of what I am searching for – ID number – starts with – 14.  I would then click on the Add button and that gets entered into the previously blank search box.  You may add another constraint (key) if you like or just click on the blue Search button at the very right.

• Here is another example below where I am looking for anyone in this drawer that has the string ‘ranc’ in the last name. Notice the operand and the placement of the % signs in the value field.

5.0 Privacy Guidelines

The University typically does not review the content of electronic messages or other data, files, or records generated, stored, or maintained on its electronic information resources; however, it retains the right to inspect, review, or retain the content of such messages, data, files, and records at any time without prior notification. Any such action will be taken for reasons the University, within its discretion, deems to be legitimate. These legitimate reasons may include, but are not limited to,

• responding to lawful subpoenas or court orders;
• investigating misconduct (including research misconduct);
• determining compliance with University policies and the law; and
• locating electronic messages, data, files, or other records related to these purposes.

FDU maintains the right to monitor and review e-mail activity to ensure compliance with this policy, as well as to fulfill FDU’s responsibilities under the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Users should have no expectation of privacy.

• Except as otherwise stipulated in this policy, on termination or separation from FDU, FDU will immediately deny access to e-mail, including the ability to download, forward, print or retrieve any message stored in the system, regardless of sender or recipient.
• Except as otherwise stipulated in this policy, employees who leave FDU will have their mailbox deleted within six months of their termination date. The employee’s manager may request that access be given to another employee who may remove any needed information within the same six month time frame.
• FDU reserves the right to intercept, monitor, review and/or disclose any and all messages composed, sent or received on the University e-mail system. Intercepting, monitoring and reviewing of messages may be performed with the assistance of content filtering software, or by designated FDU employees and/or designated external entities.

6.0 Security

As with any other type of software that runs over a network, e-mail users have the responsibility to follow sound security practices.

• Users should not use the e-mail system to transfer sensitive data, except in accordance with FDU data protection policies. Refer to the Written Information Security Program (WISP). Sensitive data passed via e-mail over the Internet could be read by parties other than the intended recipients, particularly if it is clear text. Malicious third parties could potentially intercept and manipulate e-mail traffic.
• In an effort to combat propagation of e-mail viruses, certain attachment types may be stripped at the University e-mail gateway. Recipients will be notified via e-mail when this occurs. Should this create a business hardship, users should contact the University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC).
• Attachments can contain viruses and other malware. User should only open attachments from known and trusted correspondents. Suspicious attachments should be reported to the University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC).
• Spam is automatically filtered at the University gateway in a highly efficient manner. Errors, whereby legitimate e-mail can be filtered as spam, while rare, can occur. If business-related mail messages are not delivered, users should check their local spam folder or the daily spam digest. If the message is not there, users should contact University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC).
• Users will not be asked by OIRT or any other FDU group by e-mail for personal information such as usernames or passwords. Any such requests should not be responded to and should be referred to the University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC). Such approaches – known as phishing – are fraudulent approaches carried out for the purpose of unlawful exploitation.

7.0 Operational Guidelines

FDU employs certain practices and procedures in order to maintain the health and efficiency of electronic messaging resources, to achieve FDU objectives and/or to meet various regulations. These practices and procedures are subject to change, as appropriate or required under the circumstances.

• For ongoing operations, audits, legal actions, or any other known purpose, FDU saves a copy of every e-mail message and attachment(s) to a secure location, where it can be protected and stored for three years. Recovery of messages from this store is prohibited for all but legal reasons.
• To deliver mail in a timely and efficient manner, message size must be less than 25MB. Messages larger than 25MB will be automatically blocked and users will be notified of non-delivery. Should this create a business hardship, users should contact the University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC)
• For all employees who handle sensitive information on a regular basis, to aid with ensuring that any accidental misdirection of emails are properly handled, the following disclaimer should be placed as part of and at the end of their signature block for all internal and external outbound emails.
  • This message and any attached documents contain information that may be confidential and privileged. If you have received this message in error, please immediately notify the sender and delete the message from your system without forwarding it to any other person.

Access to the content of electronic mail, data, files, or other records generated, stored, or maintained by any user may be requested from the University’s Associate Vice President of Technology Infrastructure for the reasons set forth below and shall be authorized as follows:

1. by the Associate Vice President of Human Resources for all University employees;
2. by either Dean of Students for students; or
3. by the General Counsel for the purposes of complying with legal process and requirements or to preserve user electronic information for possible subsequent access in accordance with this policy.

In all cases, the Office of the General Counsel must be consulted prior to making a decision on whether to grant access. In the case of a time-critical matter, if the authorizing official is unavailable for a timely response, the General Counsel may authorize access.

All full-time faculty who retire from the University may keep their email address for life if they request to do so.

All full-time faculty who leave the University for reasons other than termination for cause, may request email forwarding for up to six months.

8.0 Governance and Enforcement

This policy was created with input from the University’s Data Security Incidence Response Team (DSIRT). At the request of the University’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), the DSIRT will review this policy annually to ensure that FDU is in compliance with internal or external requirements. FDU faces liability if users violate the terms of this policy. Therefore, willful or repeated violations of this Acceptable Use Policy for e-mail can result in informal or formal warnings, the loss of e-mail privileges, and other sanctions including termination. Any such discipline shall be in accordance with processes and procedures of Human Resources and subject to any protections afforded under the University’s agreement with “Office & Professional Employees International Union”, the “Faculty Handbook”, and similar documents. Third parties who violate this Policy may have their relationship with the University terminated and their access to campus restricted.

For assistance with this policy, please contact the University’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

Editing Process

Editing projects can vary greatly in complexity, from straightforward cuts to those requiring specific graphics, logos, music tracks, and lower-thirds. To ensure a smooth and efficient editing process, it’s important to communicate these requirements to our team prior to production. This allows us to be prepared and begin editing shortly after the video has been recorded.

For more complex video projects, involving a variety of unique elements like graphics, B-ROLL, transitions, voiceovers, and music tracks, collaboration between the editor and producer is key. This process typically involves the editor sending raw footage to the producer, who then uses the Frame.io platform to make edit decisions and provide additional stylistic guidance.

A preview version is created based on this feedback and emailed back to the producer for review. This cycle of review and revision may require several iterations, potentially two to four passes, before reaching a final version. This final product is then subject to approval by individuals responsible for the video project, ensuring that it meets all necessary standards and criteria.

Issue

When I am connected to the FDU VPN or Cisco AnyConnect Adapter, I am unable to print documents while working from home.

Cause

While connected to the FDU VPN network, you are unable to access any local printers or network devices / services to help protect your computer from various threats while working outside of the FDU Campus Network.

Resolution

In order to Print, please disconnect from the VPN client, and once your documents have printed, reconnect.

You can also connect a USB cable from the printer to your laptop, where available, and you can remain on the FDU VPN and print anything you need.

Cost and Billing

To prevent excessive printing, the Department of Computing Services charges students a small fee for printing in the FDU Computer Labs. Black and white printing costs $0.05 per page and color printing is $0.25 per page.

Each student pays a technology fee which includes $10.00 of lab printing for each of the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Printing charges above the $10.00 per semester will appear as a Printing Fee on the next tuition bill.  

The $10 per semester printing credit is a standard allotment that expires each semester and has no cash value. No refunds will be given for pages not printed and unused prints for each semester’s allotment do not carry forward.

FDU staff and faculty members can use lab printers on a limited basis without charge for the purpose on conducting FDU business. Please use your department’s printer(s) as your primary printing resource. Faculty and staff members are limited to 200 pages per semester. Any attempt to print past this quota will result in an error message stating that the account does not have enough credit.

Note: You are responsible for all activity on your account. If you share your password with others or forget to log out, you will be held responsible for any activity done via your account, including printing charges. Computing Services strongly recommends that you use non-trivial passwords and log out completely before leaving a workstation.

View and Manage your Lab Printing

1. Hovering your cursor on the Papercut tray icon shows the Balance

2. When you click on the Papercut tray icon, it opens a new window as seen below:

3. Clicking on the “Details…” button on the lower right of the Balance within the Papercut window opens a web browser that will let the user log in and see their job history

Receiving Credit for Printing Errors

Credit will be given for errors caused by the printer (paper jams, toner problems, etc.) In such situations, please take the bad printouts to a Lab Assistant in Dreyfuss, Dickinson Hall, or University Hall. Your information will be taken, and reimbursement will be made in the form of a credit applied to your total charge for the semester. Situations which could have been prevented before printing, such as extra blank pages at the end of a document, will not be reimbursed.

Can I Use My Own Paper in These Printers?

No. Jobs are printed as they are received. There is the possibility that after loading the printer with your paper someone will print a job that will then be printed out on your paper. Transparencies and mailing labels are not allowed in the lab printers due to the high heat that laser printers use and the potential for damage to the equipment.

Project Storage

Multimedia Services ensures the long-term preservation of all video material by storing and backing it up indefinitely on Sony CI, our cloud-based video storage library. This comprehensive backup encompasses everything from raw footage and project files to graphic files and the final program. Should your video project require updates in the future, we have the capability to access and revise the project as needed.

Project Delivery

Multimedia Services delivers final program material using Frame.io, offering a rapid, secure way to send large files. This platform facilitates team collaboration with features for leaving time-coded notes. While the Frame.io link enables previews and approvals by project stakeholders, it is not intended for long-term storage. After video approval and download, the content is archived and the link will expire.

Should you require access to a completed project, please email danielpando@fdu.edu.
