Using 3sysACADEMIC

Once you have familiarised yourself with the workspace and how to find your way around it (see About Navigating 3sysACADEMIC for more information), you are ready to learn more about how to use the software.

Developers at WCBS have created a number of simple ways to add, update and remove data from 3sysACADEMIC which are largely standardised across the software. This means that once you have mastered the basic principles, you will be able to complete a wide range of tasks in any of the modules.

Note: In 3sysACADEMIC Online Help, click Example image of a drop text icon, Example image of a drop text icon, More Details... or on images to expand them and see more detail. For more information, see 3sysACADEMIC Online Help Tips and Tricks.
