How to easily share a file's location

Trying to let someone know where to find a file on the H drive? Instead of trying to remember the specific subfolder it was in, you can copy and paste the direct file path to lead someone straight to the file.

If you're in a shared drive, once you find the file you need, just look at the top navigation bar. This shows the exact path you took to get to this file.

Just click in this top navigation bar to select this file path. The file path will turn blue, and now you can copy and paste it into a message to someone.

Listing a meeting attendee as optional vs. required

When sending an Outlook calendar invite out, you can select who is required to attend vs. who is optional to attend. When you open a new meeting invite, first add attendees in the "To" field. Then click on "Scheduling Assistant" in the top navigation bar. When in Scheduling Assistant, to the left of each person's name, you'll see a small icon. This shows that the attendee is currently listed as "Required" for this meeting. When you click on this icon a drop down menu will appear. Here you can change the status for this person to "Optional". You'll see the icon by the attendees name has now been changed. For any invite you can have a mixture of Required and Optional attendees, just change the icon for each person to the appropriate status.

Creating your new branded e-mail signature!

As part of our branding efforts, the Center wants all staff to use the same format for signing e-mails – also called an “e-mail signature.” To make sure these e-mail signatures are consistent, we have created a Signature template webpage . Use this page to create your own e-mail signature, complete with your operating program logo. which you can then easily copy and paste into any e-mail program so it automatically appears at the end of your emails. Do not use these logos for any other purposes. E-mail smeah@nycourts.gov to get high-quality logos. Here are detailed video instructions, as well as overview instructions, to use the template for Desktop Outlook, web Outlook, and Gmail (which includes the courtinnovation.org account). See the bottom of this post for mail app instructions on your phone. You can also print out these instructions (Ctrl+P). Questions or issues? E-mail CCI Tech Support for extra help!

Creating online forms and spreadsheets

Two online services to collaboratively collect data, and manipulate it, are Google Forms and Airtable. Unsecure forms such as Google and Airtable are helpful to: Collect food preferences for an upcoming event or large meeting Get additional information from people attending a training on what their goals or skill level is Collect feedback after an event Get clothing sizes for the swag you are going to order Note: These forms should never be used with clients because they are not a secure way to collect data and all research projects involving clients should be reviewed by the Center’s Institutional Review Board. If you are interested in conducting research or data collection from clients, always contact CCI_IRB@courtinnovation.org first or the researcher assigned to your operating project. Google Forms , which all CCI staff have access to, allow you to easily create forms to send to CCI staff, collect data, and have the dat...
