I don't have Word, Excel or PowerPoint on my computer at home?

☑️ Faculty

I need images from MiPacs, or screen captures from Axium to put in my PowerPoint lecture?

Connect to Dentistry using "Virtual Desktop", do screen captures, or download images from MiPacs.  Move these to your "OneDrive U of T"

I need to edit or create a new lecture?

It is not recommended to use PowerPoint from a Dentistry remote connection. Download Office 365 to your home computer.  Use PowerPoint on your home computer.  Save the file to your "University of Toronto - One Drive".  Upload the file to Quercus from your OneDrive.

I would like to work off-line?

Use Office 365 installed on your laptop, use Word, Excel. PowerPoint, and even Outlook.  Use "University of Toronto - One Drive". Put "working" files that you need for the time off-line in the One Drive.  Give these a file name like document v1 so you will know this is the latest version. When you are back on-line copy these new versions back to your Dentistry directories.

☑️ Meetings?

I need to have a Video conference meeting?

Download Office 365 to your home computer.  Use Teams on your home computer. In Teams go to icon with your initials, upper right side. Choose Settings, then Devices.  Check that your camera, audio and microphone are working. Teams is NOT available with a Dentistry Remote connection.

I want a phone conference?

If it is only with two other people - Use your Dentistry VoIP phone number with your Communicator App and do a "three-way" call.  If all the people are within U of T, use Teams as you would with at Video conference, but use Audio only. 

☑️ Administrative work

I need to access to my Dentistry phone number 

DO NOT use a Dentistry remote connection - there is no sound. Download the communicator app to your home computer.  Type you phone number, (416846XXXX), in the "user name" area. Enter your communicator password.  Press "Forgot password", if needed, where user name is 416846XXXX. 

I need to sign a document with a digital signature from home

IITS recommends that you create an eToken, (certificate), based digital signature for U of T related business.  If you have been requested to do this, you will an eToken, Acrobat DC, (free), and install the SafeNet client on your home computer.

I need to access a shared email, (e.g. Oral surgery email)

Download Office 365 to your home computer.  Use Outlook on your home computer.  Once you have setup Outlook on your home computer, the shared email will appear on the side window below your email account.  If for some reason they do not appear, you can always use the web version of Outlook to connect. 

☑️ Productivity

I need to go between Outlook, Word and Excel and most of these files are in Dentistry shared directories

In this case a Dentistry "Virtual Desktop" connection might be best.  Save often.  Try and finish one task at a time and then close these files because the session will log you off after 20 minutes of inactivity.  For example, if you go for an hour lunch, your session will close and you will need to establish the session again and open all the files you were working on again.
