2-Step Login
Two-Step Login provides an additional layer of security when you log into systems that contain sensitive data. Two-Step Login, also known as Multi-Factor Authentication, helps protect sensitive data and guard against increasingly sophisticated email and online scams (e.g., phishing attacks) that can leave you vulnerable to identity theft. Like similar services offered by Google, Apple and Facebook, you log in by entering your username and passphrase and then confirm your login with an enrolled device, such as your smartphone.
Adjunct Instructor Pool
The Adjunct Instructor Pool application form is the online tool for submitting application materials for the University of Wisconsin-Stout's adjunct instructor pool. People submit applications to be considered for a teaching position through UW-Stout Online.
The Adjunct Instructor Pool does NOT use campus credentials; applicants create a username and password and provide an email address. An email is sent to that address and the user must click to verify and activate their login information prior to being able to log in.

Perceptive Content: Document Type
Perceptive Content: Document Type
Document type tells us what kind of document it is.
Technical Definition:
- Document type uniquely categorizes a document.
- Permissions can be assigned at the Document Type level as well.
- We use the document type for automated routing, especially in the L_1Forms Complete workflow queue.
- Document types begin with the department prefix.
Perceptive Content: Folders
- Folders (also known as Projects) bundle documents together in groups, similar to a manila folder.
- The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs uses folders for routing grants for approvals.
- Admissions uses folders for their student records.
- When routing folders through workflow.
- Desktop Client: The routing options are found at the top of the folder, all documents need to be closed in-order to route the folder.
- Perceptive Experience: Routing options will be at the top of the page, all documents need to be closed in-order to route the folder.
Perceptive Content: Forms Workflow
The Forms Workflow is unique to UW-Stout.
- It is a temporary holding area for documents to be stored, routed, and signed.
- The L_Forms drawer is a holding drawer.
- No documents permanently live in L_Forms drawer.
- Once the documents are processed, they are re-indexed into their permanent drawer.
Forms Application plan: ~L_Forms
- F1 = Last Name, First Name (can be left blank if document isn’t associated to a person)
- F2 = Username (automatically populated)

Perceptive Content: Indexing (Linking)
Perceptive Content Linking: The process that assigns the document keys for document retrieval.
- Indexing:
- Application plans are used during the linking/indexing/scraping process.
- Defines designated fields that will be used to hold data in order for fast and seamless document retrieval.
- Scraping:
- Is the process of using Access Stout (also known as PeopleSoft) to populate the fields.
- This process helps to eliminate human error.
- Auto indexing process:
- Routing a document through workflow to set the index values of the document.
- Most common re-indexing work flow queues are:
- global_reindex_ft5: uses field 5 campus ID.
- global_reindex_ft5_empl: uses field 5 empl ID.
- Scripts within the workflow queue will set the Campus ID, Name, and Empl ID.
- Scripts use the Access Stout database for this process.
- Re-linking
- The L_Forms drawer documents will be “re-linked” once they are processed
- The document will be assigned its permanent index fields.
- Custom Properties
- An option when more index fields are needed.
