SUO: Registration process for the SUO Glossary database
Here in detail is the signup sequence for IEEE SUO invitees -- the process
works a little differently than advertised....
===============================
Click on the link in the email message inviting you to register for access
to the SUO Glossary.
This will open a "sign-in" web page in your browser. Click "Register".
Register (for free) with your email address that the invitation message was
sent to.
At the end of the registration process you will be sent another email
message.
When you receive that email, click on the link in it...
You should be taken to a webpage that says "Welcome to Quickbase --
congratulations, you are now a registered user". Click Next.
You'll be taken to the SUO Glossary web page.
You can view the glossary, but not yet edit it.
At this point, the process works differently than expected. Even if you
"sign in", you will not be able to add records to the database yet. The
reason is that I can only give edit access to registered users, and the
email inviting you to register does not itself grant edit access.
However, I can effectively check who has accepted the invitation and
registered, and I can then give edit access to registered users. So, at
least once every day, I'll do this. (Today, Sunday 3/18/2001, I'll update
the edit access list every hour or so.)
So, after you've registered, go back to the SUO Glossary web page
periodically. To see if you have edit access yet, perform the following
steps:
click "Sign in" at the upper right area of the page.
Enter your email address or the screen name you chose during registration,
and the password you chose.
Your "My Quickbase" page will be displayed.
Click "My Favorites", and your list of quickbases will be displayed. One of
them should be "SUO Glossary".
Click SUO Glossary, and you should see the SUO Glossary webpage. You should
now also see "Add Record" at the upper left area of the page.
If you click "Add Record" you can add entries to the glossary, and you
should only be able to edit entries that you have added.
