SLS Portal Website – portal.sls.com.au The following updates have been applied to the SLS Portal: • Memory and Configuration changes to allow for speed increases in the system • The syncing of user accounts between the Portal website and Portal Smartphone App • Enhancements in the “Search Center” to allow for easily searching library documents. When using the search center, click on the “All Sources” option and select “Library” • Bug fixes in password validity checking. This is now the same for both the create account page and the update password page SLSA Resources Library moved to the members portal (portal.sls.com.au) The SLSA Online Resource library will be retired in early 2014. All members who need access to SLS information at an SLSA and State level are encouraged to obtain a portal account – no paperwork is required, a portal account can be created by any member of a club/service. Members need to be financial for the current season to see the library and use other features within the library (REG 2013‐14). There are two ways to get access to your documents as outlined below: Secure Resources Library The Secure Resources Library and SLSA Brandbox will be moved into the SLSA Members Portal in early 2014. Previously the secure library was accessed via the SLSA Website using the Members ‐> Club and member resources menu item. You will now be required to go to the Members Portal (http://portal.sls.com.au) and log in using your member login. If you do not have a login then please use the “Create Account” link to create your Members Portal account. Once logged into the Portal you will find the Secure Resources under the Library menu. Admin and Resources Library The publicly available admin and resources area will be split into Member Specific resources and Public Resources. The Member Specific resources will be loaded into the Members Portal Library (as per above) and the publicly available resources will still be available via the SLS Website. Portal activities for States States are encouraged to commence the process of loading relevant files into the Portal Library and to start the process of approving content that has been added by members. States are also encouraged to monitor and approve/reject submissions to the News/Jobs/Announcements area of the member’s portal. Content Approver permission is required for the above two activities – if this is required then a Form 49 needs to be sent to SLSA. This form 49 can be found on the Surfguard Login page under the “Account Assistance” section During the transition if you have any queries regarding the location of a resource or access to the Members Portal then please contact the SLSA IT Helpdesk on 1300 724 006 or ithelp@slsa.asn.au
