Supervisor User Guide: Creating a topic

In this guide you will learn how to create a topic and publish it to the system. First, you need to sign-in, obviously. Once you do that, click on the 'Topics' button and you will be presented with a list of topics currently available.

.

On the right hand side of the page you can spot a section called Topics Management, and a button 'Create Topic'. That's the one you want to click on in order to start writing a topic. If you can't see it, there is a big chance you are not granted the supervisor role. In that case, please contact the administrator.

Now, to the main point. Let's go through all the fields you need to fill:

1. Title - name stands for itself.
2. State - by unchecking this field you can disable the topic, meaning that no one except you will be able to see it.
3. Leader - that would be in most cases you, so put in your name.
4. Universities - select from which universities you will accept applications.
5. Lead Paragraph - short description, presented in topic listings.
6. Description - assignment of the topic. Try to specify the main goals, broader context and/or recommended reading.
7. Categories - select to what broader categories/tech. areas topic belongs.
