Just call 813-974-9979.<\/li>\n<li>Email support at <a href=\"MAILTO:tim@fcit.us\">TIM@FCIT.us<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But often overlooked is the <strong>TIM Tools Resource Center<\/strong>. This is a comprehensive Canvas course that all TIM Tools clients have access to. If you&#8217;ve forgotten your log-on information, shoot us an email at <a href=\"MAILTO:tim@fcit.us\">TIM@FCIT.us<\/a> and we&#8217;ll be happy to resend it to you. Your Resource Center access may be shared with other administrators in your district.<\/p>\n<p>While most clients prefer just to jump right into the TIM Tools Admin Center to start setting up their instance, we&#8217;d suggest that you open the TIM Tools Resource Center at least once when you are starting out just for a quick overview of the functions and capabilities of the Tools. This is especially helpful for new clients. For example, following our recommendations for the order of entering member, school, and zone information can save much time later. Experienced clients would also do well to review the Resource Center from time to time. Sometimes clients get so involved with using one part of TIM Tools that they forget there are other parts available to them.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;

This is a comprehensive Canvas course that all TIM Tools clients have access to.If you've forgotten your log-on information, shoot us an email at <a href=\"MAILTO:tim@fcit.us\">TIM@FCIT.us<\/a> and we'll be happy to resend it to you. Your Resource Center access may be shared with other administrators in your district.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While most clients prefer just to jump right into the TIM Tools Admin Center to start setting up their instance, we'd suggest that you open the TIM Tools Resource Center at least once when you are starting out just for a quick overview of the functions and capabilities of the Tools. This is especially helpful for new clients. Following our recommendations for the order of entering member, school, and zone information can save much time later. Even experienced clients may do well to review the Resource Center from time to time. Sometimes clients get so involved with using one part of TIM Tools that they forget there are other parts available to them.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[148],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14888"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14888"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14888\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23048,"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14888\/revisions\/23048"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
