Customising DMPonline - admin interface launches

We've been doing a lot of work recently to help institutions customise DMPonline. We ran webinars in March and April to explain what options are available and have been trialling the admin interface with a small group of users since. We're pleased to announce that his has now gone live and is ready for you to use.

The admin interface allows organisations to:

• Add template(s) for Data Management Plans. These can have any number of phases, sections and questions.
• Add a section to funder templates if there are additional questions you need to ask.
• Add guidance text and links to help researchers respond to questions. This guidance can pertain to your whole organisation or a subset within it (e.g. a department, institute or other group).
• Provide examples and suggested answers for your own or funder questions.
• See who else within your organistion has registered for DMPonline and how many plans they have created.

We have also produced lots of guidance to help you customise DMPonline:

• Guidelines on how to customise DMPonline for your institution [PDF]
  Some general pointers and examples to help you get started
• Customising DMPonline [video]
  A webinar explaining the options available for customisation
• Webinar on the admin interface [video]
  A short video demonstration of how to use the admin interface.
• Using the DMPonline admin interface: a guide to customising the tool [PDF]
  A guide with screenshots to walk through the process of adding templates and guidance via the admin interface. This guide also includes a full list of themes used in DMPonline to help you write guidance to be applied across all templates.
