About: Site Information

Welcome to the i-lign website. We hope to build a community here around all things related to project management and business. Even if you aren't an i-lign customer or user, we'd still like you to register here and participate. All contributions are welcome.

Site Features

Books
Books are collections of pages grouped into a hierarchy or tree. You can navigate between these pages using 'prev/up/next' links as well as the menu lists below and to the right of the page. One great feature books have is that you can group together all the sub pages of the page you are on by selecting 'print friendly link' on the current book page.
Feeds
When you see the feed icon on this site, you can subscribe to an RSS feed of the content on that page.
Notifications
You can request email notifications of new content posted to this site. On your user profile page, there is a tab for configuring what you'd like to be notified about.
Bookmarks
The bookmarks block at the bottom of the left sidebar allows you to save useful pages for future reference.

Watch this space...

We intend for this site to become a thriving project management hub. Future functionality we plan to implement over time:

  • Community spaces where different groups can form and collaborate amongst themselves, eg public groups for local user groups or industry specific groups, or private groups for specific organizations.
  • A case tracking system for bug reports and feature requests.
  • Event calendars, polls, blogs etc.
  • Newsletter subscriptions where members can subscribe to or unsubscribe from the various communications they want.

Questions and Answers

If you have any other questions about this site that are not answered here, please post them in the General Discussion forum or fill out the Contact Us form.

Why would I want to sign up?

Once you have registered, you will be able to:

  • Post discussion topics and support questions to the forums
  • Comment on articles in the Knowledge Base
  • Track replies to your own posts
  • Have comments or posts you haven't read yet highlighted for you
  • Get email notifications of new content or comments
  • Save bookmarks

What privacy do I have once I've signed up?

As much as you want. The personal details fields on your profile are optional. Your email address is never made public on this website. We won't sell or pass on your account details to third parties.

Note: If you contact another site member through the contact tab on their profile page, they will get an email from your address. Also if someone else contacts you through your contact tab, they won't see your email address unless you reply to their message.

How do I edit the personal details on my profile?

When editing your account settings, these settings are on another tab called 'Personal Details'.

Why would I want to enter personal details in my profile anyway?

We want to encourage site members to build a strong online community for sharing information about using i-lign and project management in general. Providing details is a useful networking exercise. And if you are a project management contractor or consultant your contributions to the community could provide a useful track record for future clients. But don't forget providing a profile is completely optional if you'd prefer not to.

Why are some of the times wrong?

This is nearly always a timezone issue. Check that the time zone in your user account settings is correct. Daylight savings changes will usually affect this - currently the site can't automatically adjust for daylight savings changes in each local time zone. We are working on that though.

Why can't I edit some of my comments?

You can only edit your comments before someone else has replied to them. This is designed to prevent confusing future situations where someone's answer no longer addresses the question.
