The summary can be created from the start date and time of the class by any teacher of the curricular unit or by his/her guardian.

The table of contents can also be created by importing a lesson plan or another summary, however, you can only import data that already exists in Phoenix.

To insert a summary, perform the following:

  1. Access the Fénix platform at https:/fenix.iscte-iul.pt/

    • If you want to import a previously created table of contents into the Phoenix system, select the “Previous contents” option.
    • Indicate the “Title” of the summary. If you want to change the language, choose the “Language“. By default, the Portuguese language is shown.
    • If you want to insert the “Title” of the summary in another language, click on “Add new language” and indicate the language in which you are entering the “Title“. You can “Remove” this field only from the second language.

      • Only uc enrolled – only uc students and their faculty. Naturally, it requires each other to authenticate in the Phoenix.
    • Click the “Save” button to create the table of contents and return to the summummum summummum sit-in page.

Notes

  • If there is a need to record the summary of a replacement lesson, the teacher can insert it by creating a replacement class.
  • Summaries of replacement classes and extraordinary classes can only be entered after the creation of the respective replacement classes or extraordinary classes in the Class Calendar.
  • A replacement class can only be created after a scheduled lesson has been marked as not taught in the Class Calendar.
  • The summary of a class that is taught on a date not foreseen in the class calendar and does not replace a normal class should be inserted by pre-creating an extraordinary class.
  • It is recommended to create summaries also in English aimed at students enrolled in mobility programs (ERASMUS, etc.).
  • If you do not see the Insert Summary feature, on the line corresponding to the lesson in which you want to insert the table of contents, verify that the start date and time of the lesson have not yet occurred or that the table of contents has already been created.
