Can I access SharePoint from home or off campus?
Yes, you can use a VPN client or access WebVPN (webvpn.med.cornell.edu). If you do not use VPN, you may need to log in with Duo MFA.
What are the recommended uses for SharePoint?
There are multiple ways you can customize your SharePoint site, but these are a few of the features you can have:
How are SharePoint sites typically set up?
Our SharePoint team recommends one SharePoint site per department. This site can be broken down further into specific teams or groups, allowing certain people in your department to have access to necessary files.
Note that every SharePoint site is customized to your specifications. When you request a SharePoint site, you will meet with a developer who will assist you with creating your site and addressing your department’s specific needs.
Can I share my SharePoint documents with people outside of Weill Cornell Medicine/NYP?
Yes. Users from approved institutions can be granted access to files and sites in SharePoint.
Is SharePoint HIPAA compliant?
Yes.
Can I connect my personal email account to my WCM Outlook account?
Office 365 Outlook (formerly Outlook Web Access) allows you to simplify your inbox and connect up to five additional email accounts so you can send and read all your email in one place. While this feature would permit you to connect your personal email with your Weill Cornell Medicine email account, ITS does not permit this integration.
Unlike adding separate mail accounts in the Outlook desktop client, connecting email accounts in Outlook on the web downloads and stores all external email messages in your Weill Cornell Medicine account. By virtue of this integration, all personal email will be discoverable and scanned by our data loss prevention software under the same terms as work email, as defined in the ITS 11.08 - Use of Email and ITS 11.09 – Data Loss Prevention policies. In addition, ITS will have no means of separating integrated personal email from work email. Should your relationship with Weill Cornell Medicine end, we will not be able to provide an export of your personal email messages.
For these reasons, ITS does not permit the connection of personal email accounts in Outlook on the web. If you have any questions, please contact Brian J. Tschinkel, Information Security Officer, at brt2008@med.cornell.edu.
If I leave to another institution, do my EndNote References stay with me?
Yes, if your new institution offers EndNote.
Is there a limit to the number of references I can have in my EndNote account?
If you are using the web version only, you can have up to 50,000 references stored in your account. The desktop version allows for unlimited reference storage.
What is the difference between EndNote’s web and desktop versions?
Both versions enable you to search, save, and organize your references. The desktop version has more features than the web version, which are listed on EndNote’s website.
Can I get EndNote if I work or study at WCM, but am on an NYP computer?
The desktop version of EndNote can only be installed on an ITS-tagged device. However, if you are part of WCM, you can still use the web version of EndNote by visiting www.myendnoteweb.com. Make sure you have already set up an EndNote account on our network before using the web version.
