If possible, stick to one message in the student message. This makes it easier for the student to understand. |
Instructions for publishing:
Create a student message
Make sure you have selected the correct language version of the Student Portal before you create your message. This is because the message you create will only be displayed for students who have chosen the same language version (you can always create a translation of the message). If your message is in English, choose the English language version, and vice versa. You change language by clicking on 'Svenska' or 'English' in the header. Click on 'Student messages overview' (in Swedish, 'Översikt studentmeddelanden') in the main menu of the Student Portal.
You will now be directed to an admin page for student messages.
Click on the button ‘+ Add student message’ (in Swedish, '+ Lägg till Studentmeddelande' ).
Now, you'll be taken to a page with an admin form, where you can create your student message, specify who should see it, and either publish it or save it for the future. Fill in the form. If needed, you’ll find instructions below.
When you are finished, click ‘Save’ ('Spara').
When the message is saved, an administrator page opens showing the content of your message. This view is only for you as the creator of the message; it will never be seen by students.
| Warning |
|---|
Do you get the error message "Reference is already in use"? This error message means that you are trying to create a student message for a programme or a programme offering that already has a student message. To be able to publish your student message, you must unpublish the old student message. Alternatively, you can also edit the old message instead of creating a new one. Any changes or unpublishing should always be done in consultation with the creator of the student message. |
How to fill in the student message admin form
When you want to create or edit a student message, you do so by opening a the student messages admin form. Even though the title of the form varies (create or edit), the content of the form is the same.
...
Scheduling options (Alternativ för schemaläggning) = My Page should feel relevant and updated for students, and student messages are intended for short, time-bound notices. Therefore, all student messages must have a date for when they will be unpublished.
Save as (Spara som) = Choose (spara) = Save your message (button at the top right)
Status = In the right-hand column, you can choose the status for the student message:.
‘Published’ (‘Publicerad’), the : The message is visible for to the students immediately.
‘Draft’ (‘Utkast’) your : Your message is saved but not visible to the students.
‘Unpublished’ ('Avpublicerad'‘Avpublicerad’): This is only an alternative option for messages that are published , and means that the message is no longer visible to students, but can be edited and published again.

Translate a student message
Click on 'Student messages overview' (in Swedish, 'Översikt studentmeddelanden') in the main menu of the Student Portal.
You will now be directed to an admin page for student messages. Here, all student messages that have been created are listed, with one student message per row.
You can search for the student message you want to translate by entering a search phrase and/or a filter option and click on ‘Filter’ ('Filtrera'). Often, it is enough to enter the message title, but you can also search using other options.
Once you have found the student message you want to translate, click on the arrow next to ‘Edit’ ('Redigera') on the far right of the list. Then click on ‘Translate’ ('Översätt').
You will be taken to a new page that lists the available translations and the ones that can be created. The Student Portal only supports two languages, Swedish and English, so these two are listed. Click on ‘Add’ ('Lägg till') to create a translation.
A page with an admin form for the translation will now open. On this you can edit:
The title
The text
Unpublishing date
Status to published (visible to students) or draft (your changes are saved but not visible to students).
Note that you cannot specify programme or offering references; these settings can only be changed in the language in which the student message was created. Therefore, you cannot have different references for different languages; if needed, you will have to create a completely new student message.
Fill in the form and click ‘Save (this translation)’ or ‘Spara (denna översättning)’.
