To provide easier and
faster navigation, a new Intranet Home Page was launched in late
September 2000. To give you an idea on what’s new, below
is a summary of the enhancement that you should not miss.
New Options
University Messages, Navigation Buttons and Menus All in One
Window
University Messages are now displayed
on the Intranet Home Page so that messages like “Today’s
Event” can always be seen whenever this page is visited.
If you prefer to display the messages in a separate full size
window, you may click 
and
a new window should appear to show them.
Best Viewed in 800x600
While the old Intranet is best viewed
by the display resolution of 640x480 pixels, it is 800x600 for
the new one. Otherwise you may find that some options are missing
or there are lots of scroll bars. To change the display resolution
of your PC to 800x600, please follow the steps below:
1. Click Windows “Start”
button on the bottom left corner.
2. Select “Settings”.
3. Click “Control Panel”.
4. Double click the “Display” icon.
5. Click the “Settings” tab in the pop up “Display
Properties” window.
6. For “Screen Area”, drag the setting to “800
by 600 pixels”.
7. Click the “OK” button.
Instant Sub-menu
When pointing to any of the four
menus below, a pop up sub-menu appears:
Each pop up sub-menu shows the most
frequently used options. You may point and click an option on
this pop up sub-menu to invoke it directly.
Just like before, you may access
the Intranet when you are off-campus with any PC connected to
the Internet. On CityU Home Page (http://www.cityu.edu.hk),
click “Intranet” and then select “Staff”.
Enter your Intranet username and password when prompted. Unfortunately,
only a limited set of options can be provided. If you forget your
Intranet password, please ring our CSC Help Desk colleagues at
ext.7658 to have it re-set.
Your suggestions and comments are
most welcome. Please send them to cc@plink.cityu.edu.hk.
