Welcome to the ALISS guidance videos.
00:08
In this video, we will explain how to add to ALISS.
00:13
To start adding, you will need to log in to your account.
00:16
Type in your username and your password,
00:20
and click “Login”.
00:26
Now that you are logged in,
00:27
click on the “Add to ALISS” button at the top of the page.
00:33
Firstly, check if the organisation that you're adding
00:36
is not already on here.
00:45
If it is not, click on “Add to ALISS”.
00:49
This will then take you to the start of the form.
00:55
Before you start the form,
00:57
we recommend that you have the following
00:59
information to hand, if it applies to your service.
01:03
These are:
01:04
web address,
01:06
phone number,
01:08
email address,
01:10
social media links,
01:12
location address,
01:14
and service images or videos.
01:19
When you are ready, click on “Start the form”.
01:25
Step one is: the organisation's details.
01:30
Please add the organisation’s information into the fields.
01:38
If this is your own organisation, you can claim it on this page.
01:45
The description should be clear and simple.
01:48
The goal is to provide an informative snapshot
01:52
that captures the heart of your organisation.
01:56
Lastly, you will need to fill in the organisation's contact details.
02:00
You must provide at least one form of contact information.
02:12
Step two is: the details of the service.
02:15
Please add in the relevant service information.
02:21
If this is your own service, you can claim the service on this page
02:25
without having to claim the entire organisation.
02:30
The service summary should provide a brief overview
02:33
of what the service offers.
02:36
You can then add more details of the service
02:39
in the service description.
02:41
A well written summary
02:42
and description can help people better understand
02:45
what a service is about.
02:48
In case the contact details of the service
02:51
are different to the organisation’s,
02:53
you can fill them in here.
03:00
Step three is: where.
03:02
Please add the service address or location.
03:06
You can add in multiple locations if required.
03:10
You will firstly be asked if your service is accessed in person,
03:14
online, or both.
03:17
If you select virtual,
03:19
you will be asked select a region.
03:22
If your service is accessed in person,
03:25
you will be asked to provide an address.
03:31
Step four: categories.
03:33
Please select the categories that are relevant
03:36
to the service or resource.
03:39
We recommend that you use level two
03:41
and three categories by clicking the “Show more” button
03:45
to help people find results that are more accurate to them.
03:57
Step five is: who, which is optional.
04:02
Please select the group or community
04:04
that the service or resource is aimed at.
04:08
We, again, recommend that you use level two
04:11
and three categories by clicking the “Show more” button
04:14
to help people find results that are more accurate to them.
04:18
Please note that if your service is aimed at everyone,
04:22
then you do not need to select any specific groups.
04:26
Step six is: accessibility,
04:29
which is also optional.
04:32
This step allows you to provide
04:34
information about any features that might support people
04:37
while accessing your service.
04:41
The options are different for virtual services,
04:43
and in person services.
04:47
Step seven is: media,
04:49
which, again, is optional.
04:51
This step allows you to add logos, images,
04:55
and video links to your service listing.
04:58
Click on “Choose file” and select the document
05:02
that you would like to upload to ALISS.
05:05
Please note that each media item will be reviewed
05:08
by the ALISS team before it is published.
05:17
If you would like to upload an image,
05:19
you will be asked to provide a gallery image caption
05:22
and alt text.
05:25
Use around three to six words to caption the image.
05:29
An alt text is a bit longer
05:31
and provides a basic idea of what the image is about.
05:37
Step eight is: the summary.
05:39
Once you have completed all the steps,
05:42
you will be taken to the summary page of your listing.
05:46
Here, you can check the information that you have provided
05:50
and make changes, if necessary,
05:53
by clicking on “Edit information”.
05:56
Once you're happy with your contribution,
05:59
click on “Submit for review”.
06:06
Your submission will be reviewed by the ALISS team,
06:08
and will be published once approved.
