UCLA Health IT has implemented a new technology set up for meeting spaces to create a consistent experience for all meetings and events. To help streamline the setup of your meetings, computers in these spaces will automatically log in and the most commonly used applications will be conveniently pinned and available on the desktop. The applications you most commonly use will be pinned to the desktop for your convenience. 

Prior to March 2020, Zoom was most often used when meeting spaces were not available, to connect with staff in other locations, or simply when in-person meetings were inconvenient. Though the UCLA Health instance of Zoom had been available to all Mednet users since 2018 to augment collaboration and interactions, it wasn’t until this year that Zoom became an absolute and vital necessity.

To help streamline the setup of your meetings, computers in these spaces will automatically log in and the most commonly used applications will be conveniently pinned and available on the desktop. The applications you most commonly use will be pinned to the desktop for your convenience. These spaces can be reserved as you normally would through UCLA Health Online Conference Room Reservation site.

Our web team is aware that some features on our UCLA Health IT site such as menus do not display properly on Internet Explorer (IE) 11. Our IT site runs the Drupal open-source software, and there are some known issues when rendering Drupal sites on IE11 and older versions.

We recommend using Chrome for the best user experience; however, we are aware that some UCLA Health IT-supported machines default to IE. In these cases, we recommend viewing our site on a different browser, whenever possible. 

We understand how important having a stable and strong network connection is under the current social distancing guidelines. Many households have children doing schooling from home and multiple adults working remotely and greatly depend on internet access.

Hi, I'm Eileen…

As the Communications Specialist, I work on various digital communication and marketing projects for UCLA Health IT in supporting anything from CareConnect Upgrade, software or hardware downtimes, website updates, email communications, training for Microsoft Teams, creating Qualtrics surveys, and anything and all things related to communications (really it can be anything).  

Our teams have received a number of reports of losing the ability to present during a Zoom meeting. When this issue occurs, the presentation screen remains undisturbed to the presenter, however, it will display a blackout screen to the other meeting participants.

Our teams have escalated this issue to Zoom and we are actively working on with Zoom engineers to identify the root cause and a solution. At this time, a permanent resolution is not yet available. 

Hi, I'm Sean…

On paper, I’m a Programmer Analyst II. In reality, I’m an audiovisual tech, aka a “grown man with a large rolling backpack”. I joined the AV club in high school and never left. But at least I smell nice and hey, don’t knock the Proton Pack. I can live and work comfortably out of it for three days.

This is your one-stop-shop for all things related to the Health Science Development IT merger. DGIT is committed to helping you navigate through the most recent changes made to your IT support and services. Some of this information includes, training materials and answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

We are excited to announce that the Procurement Portal is being updated to improve the current workflows and usability while also updating the look-and-feel.

DGIT's Software Development team will be updating the portal in waves through July. Each release will satisfy the requests and suggestions of the different uses for the portal. This page will list all changes being made to the portal with references to training materials developed for enhancements.

We are exited to announce training webinars from UCLA Health IT for Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

Microsoft Teams is a workspace that brings people across UCLA Health, or within your department, together to communicate and collaborate.

Zoom is a web and video conferencing tool.

Every month we will provide a basic introduction and an advanced session for both applications.

As many of our meetings and learning environments have transitioned to online, it is important to quickly learn best practices for using meeting platforms such as Zoom. Be an informed and empowered meeting host and take precautions to reduce your vulnerability to uninvited attendees. This will ensure the content of your meetings remains secure and safeguarded against disruptions. 

In this unprecedented time with many of our staff transitioning to work remote and increases in email and communications online, please helps us maintain a safe and secure computing environment. Healthcare is in high risk of daily targeted and opportunistic cyberattacks. Malicious users looking to profit off the current situation may send emails with attachments or links to trick victims into revealing sensitive information or donating to fraudulent charities or causes.
