In the process of getting ready for Read Around the Planet 2009, we’ve been polishing the tools for connecting people to equipment profiles within CAPspace.

If you are the sole person supporting VC in your school/district, and you will do all the registrations for your teachers, then you don’t need these tools. But for everyone else where other people need to be attached to the equipment profiles so they can register for RAP, you’ll find these new tools very helpful!

Watch List
First, we have a new watch list. This is a way to “watch” for people in your service area who have created accounts in CAPspace.

• The watch list automatically uses your email domain. If you support for just your school or district, then you should be all set. If you support VC for several districts (email domains), then go to My Settings, Watch List, and add the email domains of your districts.
• New accounts show up on the front page as shown:
  
  This list will show anyone from your watch list who created an account in the last 30 days and isn’t attached to an equipment profile.
• You can see all the people on your Watch List under Search, Watch List. This shows all the accounts in CAPspace that match your watch list settings. If you see some old accounts that should be deleted, let us know.

Connect to Equipment
We had an old clunky way to add people to equipment (which still works) under Admin, My Equipment, then Attach End Users under the equipment profile. However, now we have a faster way to do it. This way assumes that the equipment profile(s) are already created.

• Go to the person’s profile. From the home page, click on their name in the new watch list to get to their profile. Or use Search, click Watch List, and click the head icon to go to their profile. Or just search their name and click the head icon to view their profile page.
• From here, click + I Support VC for this person as shown below. When the confirmation message pops up, click OK.
  
• Next, you’ll see the option to attach the person to an equipment profile. If you support multiple systems, you’ll see a pull down menu to choose the equipment this person uses. Then click Add to Equipment.
  
• Finally, you’ll see the equipment icons on their profile, along with the name of the equipment they are attached to – as shown below. (If you don’t have access to ISDN, you won’t see that icon.)
  
• Now this person should be able to register for Read Around the Planet, so send them an email and let them know.

We hope your registration for Read Around the Planet is going smoothly. If you have an verification related issues, email Janine at verification@twice.cc. For all other CAPspace and RAP questions, email Sue at sue@twice.cc.
