Hello, Members.
Exciting news: we're ‘soft launching’ a new dashboard.
Why? Because of you!
That's right; we're improving the user experience. We're cleaning up the entire dashboard and making everything more accessible.
We'll also make it super easy to access resources and publishing tools and manage your account. From now on, you'll get a more intuitive experience with the ability to view your past interactions with other members and access an entire library of content from our best practice talks.
We're super excited to share that we're launching a new dashboard! We think you'll love it. Also, there's much more to unpack, so let's dive in...
Instantly Find Everything Important
We're continuously improving our site, so we've simplified some areas and reorganised others. We've also added new features, like a one-page dashboard with our most frequently used tools and resources in one place. Visit the dashboard to learn about your account
Add widgets from your microsite to your website.
Add news and jobs posted to your microsite to your website.
Goto edit microsite > settings and style > widgets
From here, you can customise the widget's size, copy the embed code, and paste it into your website or a page on your website.
The widget can be added anywhere on your website and is a valuable tool for improving productivity.
There are two separate widgets for news and another one for jobs. You will need to embed these individually into the areas you wish them to display.
If you wish to avoid adding widgets to your main website, then no problem. They are ready if you want to create future campaigns or add pages to your site.
A video library of best practice talks at your fingertips!
Made U - short for Made University - is your home for best practice talks from the manufacturing community and expert masterclasses to help you expertly network, market and sell your brand. Whether you've been creating on Made for years or are just getting started, we've got you covered.
Over the last 12 months, more than 76 members have shared best practices; we've taken the best talks and added them to a new website area called Made-U. From this area, you can watch past best practice talks, and if you wish to engage with these companies in the future, you have the perfect ice-breaker.
Updated jobs module
The jobs section is now an all-in-one place to post jobs, add employer branding to your job advert and then share your job to your social networks and external campaigns.
