The Digital Preservation System Sharepoint site and wiki are accessible to members of the DPS User Group. DPS Users can access the site by signing in with your Yale NetID and password.
The DPS Sharepoint site has documentation for system users and unit/repository managers pertaining to system configuration, policies, storage, and workflows specific to the YUL enterprise system.
As the DPS implementation progresses, the wiki and Sharepoint site will be regularly updated with additional training and documentation materials.
Please contact us at digitalpreservation@yale.edu to request access to the User Group documentation sites.
The service contract between Preservica and Yale University Library allows for the Library to organize on-site and webinar training sessions by Preservica staff members for Yale Library and Museums staff. These sessions can provide a helpful supplement to the webinars at Preservica Forums because they are specific to Yale's enterprise system and our cover specific processes within our DPS implementation.
On-site Preservica-led training sessions at Yale were offered in October 2015 and Preservica also led a two-day webinar training series for Yale users in August of 2016. Recordings of these sessions are available; please contact the Digital Preservation System for details.
Topics covered in these webinars included:
Future Yale-specific on-site and remote/webinar based training sessions will be posted on the Digital Preservation System Sharepoint Wiki. Please contact the Digital Preservation Services Unit for more information about upcoming training sessions and to request topics for training by Preservica.
Context Help Menu in Preservica System
For specific questions that come up at any point in the system interface, use the Context Help Menu in Preservica.
The "Context Help" Menu can be accessed via the drop-down menu within the Help Tab at the far right of the System Functional Areas menu bar.

Clicking on Context Help brings you to a help page for the specific section of the DPS that you are in.
