Downloads and Email Pop Up Windows in myHeritage

myHeritage has been a very helpful tool for us since going live in July of 2016.  That being said, there are always growing pains when moving to an entirely new database system for company management.  myHeritage displays certain content in a separate popup window like downloads and email windows withing the system.  In order to ensure you are able to download files or send email in myHeritage, please add an exception for myHeritage to your browsers list of Pop Up blocker exceptions.

Populi wrote a new article about this topic called Why Won’t the Email Windows Open When I Try to Email A Group of People.

Google Chrome

  • Click the main menu in the top-right (represented by three vertical dots) and choose Settings.
  • Scroll down and click the link that says Show advanced settings…
  • Immediately under the Privacy section click the Content settings... button.
  • Scroll down to the Pop-ups section and leave the setting at Do not allow any site to show pop-ups.
  • Click the Manage exceptions... button.
  • Add heritage.populiweb.com to the list of exceptions.  Ensure the behaviour is set to Allow and click Done.
  • You’re done.

Microsoft Edge

If you are using Microsoft Edge, it seems to handle the exception even with Pop-up blocker enabled.  If you are using Internet Explorer, I would suggest migrating to Microsoft Edge.

Registering for Courses

You can register for courses when the Registrar’s Office has set up online enrollment periods. During these periods, you can enroll in courses, sign up to audit them and drop courses

  • When you log in to myHeritage, you’ll see an alert on your Home page that looks like this. Click the alert to go the registration page.
  • Go to My Profile and click the Registration tab.

How to register for courses

Registration table for course selection

 

First, let’s get oriented:

  • My Courses shows the courses (if any) in which you’re already registered for the term shown in the selector.
  • Available Courses shows the courses for which you may register.
  • Course names link to the Course > Info view, where you can have a look at course details. If information is missing, contact the professor.
  • Faculty names link to their Profiles.
  • indicates icon exclamationthat you’ve already passed this course. But it doesn’t prevent you from registering for it.

To register for courses:

  1. Find a course under Available Courses.  Pay close attention to the section numbers.  Section 1 – in class, Section 2 – online/distance learning.  Click either the Enroll or Audit plus signs.   Go to Home > Dashboard to see more detailed information regarding section numbers.
  2. If you see a greyed out icon in either column, you cannot register for that course in that way. Reasons include:
    • There may be an enrollment limit placed on the course.
    • You have not fulfilled the prerequisites to enroll in that course.
    • You have already registered for another section of that same course.
  3. As you select courses, the information for Available Courses updates:
    • The meeting times for regular weekly courses offered on campus that have schedule conflicts with My Courses turn red.  Multi modal and modular courses are listed separately under Course Calendar by clicking on each individual course.
    • The enroll/audit options for alternate sections of My Courses deactivate .
    • Hours/credits turn red if those courses would cause you to run afoul of the term’s Max Hours/Credits
  4. To remove a course, click the ‘minus’ button under My Courses.
  5. Click Save to finish. You can also click Undo Changes to erase any changes you made since you last saved registration.

A few things to remember…

  • Select courses in consultation with your Faculty Advisor.
  • The Registrar or your Faculty Advisor may apply a lock to your account. If that is the case, you’ll see a yellow banner at the top of the screen. As long as the lock is in place, you will not be able to make any changes to your registration—the Registrar or your Faculty Advisor must do so.
  • If you’re having trouble with registration, please contact your Faculty Advisor.
  • Your Faculty Advisor is listed under Student tab.  Look to the right side of your screen under Student Information.
