For those of you whose groups use the computer in your room to read and display PBL triggers may have been befuddled this week. Even those of you who know how to use the new portal already would have found that it wasn’t working on Monday morning/afternoon.
It wasn’t your fault. No one could access it that morning.
Luckily, the triggers are now available for viewing. I suspect that it will continue to be visible and updated as regularly as they had been with the old portal.
This is how it’s done.
Step 1. Click on My Timetable in the Main Page. If you aren’t familiar with the general interface, check out Part 2.
Step 2. If necessary, find the week you’re looking for. You’ll be shown the current week, which is what you’d need most of the time. However, if you want to go back to do case summaries or something like that, you can toggle through the weeks above your active timetable to find it. Pretty simple, really.
Step 3. Click the trigger link and the subsequent link, and you should get a pretty little setup of the triggers for the week.

There you go. Nice and simple, this one. Oh, and if you want to make the triggers easier to read from several feet away, use your browser’s text size function, usually found under the View menu.

Hi Soohan,
I can’t seem to be able to get to any of the triggers since the prostate week. I keep getting a failure notice with something that says that the SOM server is unable to be found. I have tried a couple of computers now both at home and at UQ. Any tips to get around this?
thanks,
LK
