Accessing the Platform

First-time users should access VOMP through a secure web browser. Navigate to the platform's URL provided by your organization (e.g., https://vomp.organization.edu). Upon reaching the login page, enter your assigned username and password. For new users, an account activation email will be sent by the system administrator, including a link to create your credentials.

Logging In and Security

After entering your credentials, click the "Login" button. The platform employs multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security. Users are prompted to confirm their identity via an authentication app or email code. It is recommended to enable MFA during initial setup for added protection.

Dashboard Overview

Once logged in, users arrive at the Dashboard, which provides an overview of recent activity, upcoming events, and quick access to core functionalities. The Dashboard is divided into sections:

  • Navigation Menu: Located on the left, allows access to different modules such as Profile, Projects, Communication, and Settings.
  • Notifications: Displays system alerts, messages, and updates.
  • Main Workspace: Shows relevant content depending on selected module.

Navigating and Using Features

Navigation is primarily via the sidebar menu and top toolbar. Modules include:

  • Projects: Create, view, and manage projects or initiatives.
  • Communication: Use built-in chat, video conferencing, and forums.
  • Resource Sharing: Upload and access shared documents, data sets, and tools.

Effective Page Layout and Visual Elements

The user interface employs a clean design with ample whitespace, organized sections, and highlighted action buttons. Screenshots demonstrate typical workflows, such as creating a project or initiating a chat. Flowcharts illustrate processes like onboarding new members or sharing resources.

For example, a flowchart (see Figure 1) shows the steps to onboard a new user, from sending an invitation to granting access permissions. Tables list system features with descriptions for quick reference, aiding users in understanding available tools and functionalities.

Terminology and Symbols

It's essential that users understand specific terms associated with the platform:

  • Dashboard: The main interface displaying summaries and quick links.
  • Modules: Functional units such as Projects, Communication, or Resources.
  • Permissions: Settings that control user access levels.

Symbols used include:

  • gear icon: Access to settings
  • User avatar: User profile and account options
  • Bell icon: Notifications

Support and Troubleshooting

If users encounter issues, they can access the Help Center via the Support tab, which offers FAQ articles, tutorial videos, and contact options for technical assistance. Common troubleshooting steps include clearing browser cache, verifying internet connection, and resetting passwords via the “Forgot Password” link.

Conclusion

This manual provides the foundational knowledge necessary for new users to efficiently navigate and utilize the Virtual Organization Management Platform. Mastery of the platform's core features enhances collaboration and resource management within virtual organizations in education and healthcare sectors, ultimately contributing to improved operational effectiveness.
