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,
[02:56]
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.
[06:12]
