Notice board

in progressForStudentsTeaching staffAdministration

Notices of your own institution: announcements with category and run time, polls with one vote per person and a personal watch list; the administration creates, extends and withdraws them.

Why#

What everyone should know belongs in a place everyone knows — filterable so that the important does not get lost in the many, and time-limited so that old items disappear by themselves.

How it works#

  1. 1Members: open “Notice board” (address /studium/brett). You see the notices that are currently posted, newest first.
  2. 2At the top filter by category (general information, poll, event, system, exam) and semester, optionally “Watch list only” (Fig. 1).

  3. 3“more” expands long texts. “Bookmark” puts a notice on your own watch list, “Bookmarked” takes it off again (Fig. 2).

  4. 4In a poll choose an answer: every person has one vote; the result only appears after your own vote.
  5. 5Administration: under “Notice board” in the administration (/admin/brett) create a new notice — category, optionally news type and semester, title, text, “Visible from” and “Visible until”, optionally “With poll” with two to eight answers.
  6. 6Below are all notices with their status (scheduled, posted, expired, withdrawn) and the poll results; “+30 days” extends, “Withdraw” takes a notice off the board immediately.

Settings and switches#

  • Switchable per tenantDefault: onModule: Hochschulverwaltung
  • Part of the module “University administration”; switchable per tenant.
  • Run time without an entry 30 days, at most one year.

What a notice carries#

  • Category
  • News type and semester (optional)
  • Title and text (up to 8,000 characters)
  • Period: visible from, visible until
  • optionally a poll with 2–8 answers

How voting works#

  • Every signed-in person of the tenant has exactly one vote per poll — recorded in the database, not in the browser.
  • A second vote changes nothing; voting is only possible while the notice is posted.
  • Votes are counted in the database; only totals are shown, never who voted how.

Who may do what#

  • Read, vote, bookmark: signed-in members of your own institution.
  • Create, extend, withdraw, see results: the administration of your own institution.
  • Every query is bound to the tenant boundary; a guard in the code checks this per query.

Tips#

  • You only see the results of a poll after your own vote — so the interim result does not influence you.
  • A withdrawn notice is gone for members immediately; in the administration it remains visible with the status “withdrawn”.
  • For concerns with justification and discussion there is the community.

Under review#

Built; migration 374 is awaiting approval — until then the board and the administration report “not yet set up”. The defaults (the administration creates, 30 days run time, one vote per signed-in member) apply until the owner decides. The public demo surface /g-uds/blackboard continues to show sample data.
