Instructions and Help
Here are some instructions on how to create or edit ESCIS entries and events.
Table of Contents
Passwords and ESCIS accounts
If you previously had an ESCIS account, your old username and password should work.
If you are setting up a new account, your password should be at least 10 characters long and contain a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers.
There is a password meter which will tell you if your password is OK – see the video below.
If you forget your password, you can click on the lost password link and set a new one.

New Features
Adding your social media accounts to your entry
You can now add links to your social media accounts to your ESCIS entry.
Fine-tuning your map location
You can add your address and a map to your entry. The map module does not display your address.
Sometimes Google Maps show the wrong location for postcodes. This video shows how you can correct your location.
Adding opening times
You can add your organisation’s opening hours to ESCIS.
Be careful not to select “open all day” otherwise it will appear that you are open 24 hours.
Adding additional contact details
You can add up to two additional contacts. These fields are optional.
