Navigate the CLC Toolbox

The CLC Toolbox is a resource of 100+ guides detailing solutions for using EveryAction and VAN. It includes CLC's best practices and strategies for everything from how to send email blasts to the quirks of the Bulk Uploader. This guide will orient you as to how you will interact within the Toolbox and access the courses you need! Our goal in transitioning to this new platform is to make our guides more accessible, user-friendly and sustainable to you, our clients!

The beginning of this guide presents 2 paths, choose the start that most makes sense to your circumstances, and navigate to the matching header using the left-side table of contents menu. - **Sign in from a Welcome Email:** Start here if your organization is currently working with CLC. You have been added to the Toolbox by CLC staff and have been enrolled to your org's membership and specific course. The step-by-step process will walk you through how to reset your password and view your specific courses. - **Create an Account Online:** Start here if you are new to the Toolbox and do not currently have a contract with CLC. The step-by-step process will walk you through how to create a login account and enroll in general courses.

If your organization has an active contract with CLC, you may be added by the CLC team to the Toolbox in order to access resources included in our contracting. These resources may include a "Forever Access" membership that includes courses specific to you and the organization that you work for. In this case, you will be prompted to sign in to the Toolbox through a welcome email. Please note that the welcome email includes terms of service and privacy for using the Toolbox.

For recognizability, your org-specific course will have a dark green background with an avocado-colored book icon course image as opposed the general course which have a cantaloupe-colored background with a blue icon course image.

From your dashboard, you can search for a course or a lesson you are enrolled in using keywords by clicking into the "Search" bar.

Please note that the search bar responds to keywords and will populate the COURSE that a keyword or Click-Through Guide lives in. For example, if you are looking for a specific guide and you search the title "Create and Use a Custom Export Format," the Reporting course will populate. Or, if you search the keywords, "custom export format" the Reporting course will populate.

Click-Through Guide course vs. Interactive courses Click-Through Guide courses are best for someone looking for self-guided learning. Click-Through Guide courses will include: - Linked guides - Pertinent documents Interactive courses are built-out courses to fully guide the learning process. These are best for new learners or someone who wants a very in-depth understand on a topic. Full courses will include: - Linked guides - Quizzes - Surveys - Videos

Each Click-Through Guide has section headers menu. These might not appear in your view if your browser is too small. If the window is compressed, click the double arrow icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen to expand the Click-Through Guide and view it full-screen. This provides a clearer view of the left-hand side headers which allow you to easily jump to different sections of the guide. Similarly, click the double arrow icon again when you are ready to return to the original view with chapters and lessons.

Courses have a toolbar to the left that allows you to move throughout the chapters of a course. The amount of chapters and lessons within a course vary. Click the down arrow to expand a chapter and view the available lessons within.

All of our courses and lessons within have the capability to engage with the course material through discussions. We are anticipating questions and comments as you navigate your way through our courses and we encourage you to ask as many as you may need, to supplement your learning.

You can insert images (under 10MB), insert links and upload files (under 30MB) to support your discussion.

CLC Toolbox Admin will be alerted to a discussion being added. We review all questions and comments.
