Web Services will host a series of workshops in July to help MarCom professionals across the university leverage the Webtools platform to implement the brand. Workshops will include several new enhancements to Forms, Surveys and Email+.

All workshops will be held from 10 - 11 a.m. The presentation will last 30-40 minutes leaving plenty of time for questions. The "join workshop" links below will become active 15 minutes before each workshop begins. No registration is required. Please note: Each of the workshops mentioned below cover the same updates in Webtools. There are simply multiple sessions scheduled so employees can join as their schedules allow.

New branching feature in Forms and Surveys requires training. Branching will include a "goto" element that will take users through different pages in the form, as well as a submit button on any page. Branching is more complex than most features in Webtools and requires training. Attending a workshop or watching a video at a later date are the methods of gaining access to the new branching options. Attendees of the workshops below will be certified to use branching.
