About using MyEd

When you login to MyEd, you login to Your University Login, which is our reduced-sign-on-service.   This allows you to access to a range of services, some of which contain personal information about yourself and others.   When you have finished using MyEd, make sure that you logout, and that you also logout from Your University Login and close your browser.

Security tips

• Lock your computer if you need to leave it unattended while logged in.
• When using a public computer, use Private or Incognito browsing so that your username and password are not stored in the browser history.
• If in doubt at anytime, log out from MyEd and close the browser window.

You can use your browser settings to alter the appearance of MyEd to make it easier to read and navigate.   A link with more information about how to do this is below.

Customising our site

Channels and portlets both refer to the blocks of content that appear within MyEd.   For example, when you login you see the Email 'portlet', which shows a link to your inbox, and allows you to preview your email.   

In an older version of MyEd these blocks of content were called 'channels'.  They are now called 'portlets', but you may see the term 'channel' sometimes.

You can customise your homepage by using favourites.

You can favourite the content that you use most often, and it will appear in the Favourites section on your homepage, making it quick and easy to access.

There are two ways to add content to Favourites:

• You can click the star symbol that appears in the top right corner of a portlet.
• You can search for content and click the star symbol that appears next to the content you want in the search results list.  This lets you add menu links that link out directly to other services and content.

To remove a favourite click on the bin icon that appears next to the link in your Favourites.  You can also access the portlet you want to remove and click on the star that appears in the top right corner.
