Columbus employees who build public-facing digital forms and surveys are the intended audience for a citywide training session led by Granicus. It is scheduled as a virtual event on Monday, Nov. 16, from 11 a.m. to noon, according to a City of Columbus bulletin.
Employees who want to take part can sign up through Cornerstone. Those who cannot attend will be able to watch a recording, the bulletin states.
The session's agenda covers three areas of the Granicus Forms and Workflows product: constructing a form with advanced capabilities such as conditional logic and calculations; creating and processing a back-office workflow; and producing custom documents through output templates.
Separately, the Department of Technology outlined accessibility help available to departments as they fold accessibility practices into routine work. The offerings listed are an ADA Resource Center on SharePoint, guidance and best practices published on Section508.gov, accessibility office hours held weekly on Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to noon, and technical assistance requested through TechDesk. Questions about legal requirements can go to adahelp@columbus.gov.
Departments are being encouraged to start drawing on these resources now, and the bulletin closes by thanking staff for helping make city information and services accessible.
