Create a Guide: Setting up & Deleting Slack Reminders for your project

[ktjnyc]

Overview

We need to create a guide so that people know how to setup slack reminders.

Action Items

• Gather examples of how other Hack for LA projects have done, adding each example as a link in the resources section
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Gather Examples" label and add the "TG: Draft Template" label
• Create a draft template, either in markdown format in this issue or a google doc in the product management google drive
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Draft Template" label and add the "TG: Create Guide" label
• Create a guide on how to use the template feature
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Create Guide" label and add the "TG: Review Guide" label
• Review the guide with product management communities of practice
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Review Guide" label and add the "TG: Leadership Review" label
• Present to Hack for LA leadership team for sign off
  • Once approved, remove the "TG: Leadership Review" label and add the "TG: Place Guide" label
• Possibly create an issue template on .github
  • Include link to template under resources if you add it as a template in .github

Resources

• Refer to Create a document template for Guides #123 for how to write a guide and the guide template

@ExperimentsInHonesty In trying to create a look and feel that is similar to the Hack for LA website, I added the Hack for LA logo, created a header with placeholder text (that can easily be modified) and hopefully addressed your comment. I created a new version to show the delta between the two designs.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

@mariastudnicka I can't say enough how much I love what you have done. Question for you... do you think we could add a red map pin (color matching with logo) with concentric circles radiating out from LA to this image

might look horrible but it might be nice to customize the dot image to communicate that this is a message we are sharing with the world.

[mariastudnicka]

Thanks! @ExperimentsInHonesty. Let me take a pass at it.

[mariastudnicka]

Hi @ExperimentsInHonesty. Here are two versions. Let me know your thoughts.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Hi @mariastudnicka , Yes I think you have the general idea. But we would like to communicate the actual impact we are having.. so more rings spreading out and some kind of differentiation between the pin and the rings.

@olivia So sorry, I update this Saturday when I get back.

[mariastudnicka]

@ExperimentsInHonesty I tried to match the image you included, but it looks like that was done in Photoshop. I did 2 versions in Figma the best I could to match it.

For devs adding this guide to the Toolkit page: the guide card Illustration and image credit information is in the Toolkit page Figma file (blue rectangle on bottom left)

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

@mariastudnicka It looks like there are a few notes from me in the doc, although I forgot to put a note here when I originally made them. Can you update the doc?

Additionally, on the UI/UX community of practice we have a slide deck for placing your screenshots in, incase we need to update them. There is a reference to it in the How to make a guide Please make a slide deck (according to the instructions) and put it with the guide in a folder in the drive.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

@mariastudnicka @ktjnyc this doc uses a different header and does not the footer we are now putting on all guides. See the guide on how to make a guide to make updates

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

@mariastudnicka Here is a link to make the header https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1YJI1pKheA2uZfI8ICTtR8soJLuhqhoTUrzfv8YQerE4/copy Please store the file created in the same folder as the guide.

Also, I am confused. V3 looks weird. It has the header even on the first page (it should start on second page only) and is missing the map, etc. Please see the guide to making guides (still a wip, but the formatting of the first page and header is proper)

Can you provide a link to whatever is the v4 and put it in the top section too, please.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Updated note for @mariastudnicka I needed to reformat this guide asap for another project, so I created a new V4 with some text and menu changes, please use that as your starting point for updating the header.

[mariastudnicka]

Hi @ExperimentsInHonesty So sorry about the crazy delay.
So I spent about an hour trying to figure out how to hack the margins of the header to show no white space with no success. I formatted the header to 0 margins, I also made sure the page setup was at 0 at the top of the page.

The header is there but there's a white space on top of the header. I used V4 doc.

[mariastudnicka]

I added the jpg of the header in the drive. i created a new folder called assets so it wouldn't get lost in the files.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

@mariastudnicka Yeah!!! 😁🥰 Can't wait to check it out.

[SheIsBukki]

Hi @mariastudnicka, hope you're well, we are trying to access the V4 Doc but it says "Access Denied", can you confirm whether it is in the right drive? If not can you move it to the right folder

[mariastudnicka]

That’s super weird. It says I don’t have permission to access it. : (

@mariastudnicka I figured it out!!! I had migrated the files to the new google shared drive, but had not added everyone yet. You should have gotten an email just now, telling you we have added you to the drive. And you should have access to the files now.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

@SheIsBukki will do a final review on this document

[mariastudnicka]

Thanks, Bonnie!

Is it possible to set reminders for weekly meetings but exclude certain dates (i.e. reminders for meetings every Thursday except the first Thursday of the month)?
