[:en]It’s almost holiday, but what about that ominous to-do list? We’ve compiled one especially for the office to save you some trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0Make sure your password won’t expire while you are away on holiday. Rather reset<\/a> it before you leave so you won’t be locked out of your accounts when you return.<\/strong><\/p>\n 2. Secondly, did you put in leave? We hope so, but if you haven’t, here<\/a>‘s something to keep in mind.<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0If you plan on using your PC or device during your holiday and you need to have it fixed, updated or need to set up anything in order to do so, please try and bring it to us ASAP. Just like with Christmas shopping, people tend to wait until the last minute, therefore we are busier closer\u00a0to the end of the year. The sooner you drop by, the sooner we can solve your problem.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0If you’ll only be returning to the office\u00a0mid-January, make sure the necessary arrangements have been put in place in your absence and your colleagues are up to date with your responsibilities.\u00a0For example, some visitors and external workers’ SUNid registration might expire during the holiday and with it, their access to the network and buildings. If you are your department’s SUNiD representative, make sure this is dealt with before you leave. More info on SUNid here.<\/a><\/p>\n 5.\u00a0If you regularly misplace keys, cell phones, etc, it might be a good idea to set up security on your phone, as well as a tracking device. Read our article on\u00a0securit<\/a>y and how to set up tracking.<\/a><\/p>\n 6.\u00a0Activate Outlook’s Out of Office assistant<\/em>. Detailed instructions on how to do this, can be found on\u00a0Microsoft<\/a>‘s website.<\/p>\n 7. And lastly, before you happily close your office door for the last time this year,\u00a0remember to switch off all equipment using electricity. This includes, PCs, chargers, printers, screens and lights.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [:af]Dis amper tyd vir vakansie, maar wat van daai lang lysie met goed om te doen? Ons het vir jou een vir die kantoor saamgestel sodat jy nie daaroor ook bekommerd hoef te wees nie.<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0Maak seker dat jou wagwoord nie verval terwyl jy met vakansie is nie. Verander<\/a> dit liewer betyds sodat jy nie uit jou rekeninge gesluit is wanneer jy terug is in Januarie nie.<\/strong><\/p>\n 2. Tweedens, het jy al verlof ingesit? Ons hoop so, maar as jy nie het nie, lees hier.<\/a><\/p>\n 3.\u00a0As jy\u00a0beplan om jou rekenaar of toestel te gebruik tydens jou vakansie en enigiets verander, opgestel of reggemaak moet word voor dan, bring dit asseblief ASAP\u00a0na IT. Net soos Kersfeespersente, wag die meeste mense tot op die nippertjie. Dit maak dit ongelukkig moeilik om almal te kan help. Hoe gouer jy dit bring, hoe gouer kan ons jou help.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0Indien jy eers middel-Januarie weer op kantoor is, maak seker dat die nodige re\u00eblings in plek is en jou kollegas op hoogte is van jou verantwoordelikhede. Byvoorbeeld, persone wie se SUNid-registrasies gedurende die vakansietydperk verval en daarmee saam alle toegang tot die netwerk en geboue. As jy die SUNid-verteenwoordiger is, maak seker daar is `n plan in plek vir die persone\u00a0vir wie jy verantwoordelik is. Meer oor SUNid\u00a0hier.<\/a><\/p>\n 5.\u00a0As jy gereeld sleutels, selfone, ens. verloor, stel sekuriteit op jou selfoon en sit `n opsporingsmeganisme in plek. Lees ons artikel oor sekuriteit<\/a> en hoe om jou selfoon op te spoor.<\/a><\/p>\n
