WiscWeb - Designating a primary contact

This document will walk you through how to designate yourself as a primary contact for your site. You must be an Administrator on the site in order to put this in place.

Overview

The primary contact(s) are who we reach out to when we need to communicate important information or changes about your WiscWeb site. We ask that every group designate at least one primary contact so that we know who can make decisions about the site.

Note: This setting is defaulted to the person who requested the site unless otherwise changed.

Display

The primary contact designation appears in two places:

Dashboard

The primary contact is listed on the dashboard in the Site Contacts and Administrator box:
