Welcome to your Catalyst Web Tools account. The account page provides:

• access to all of the Catalyst Web Tools;
• a list of the CommonView workspaces you are able to access as owner, collaborator, or participant;
• a view of the items you have created with the tools and some shortcuts to help you work with them;
• the ability to manage your profile;
• and links to helpful resources on the Catalyst Web site.

To start working with a specific Web tool, such as GoPost, click the tool name in the "Catalyst Web Tools" menu at the left. You will move to the home page for that tool.

You can also view all the Catalyst tool items in which you are a owner, collaborator or assistant, or a participant. To see these items, click Owner, Collaborator, or Participant, respectively.

The owner and collaborator views also provide shortcuts to view, edit, or go to specific resources for each item. For example, you can view a WebQ survey, edit the survey by going to the WebQ summary page, or go to the results page.

To view a short and convenient list of items you work with frequently, click the Tagged tab.

To view helpful resources about using the Catalyst Web Tools, follow the links under "Helpful Resources" to pages on the Catalyst Web site:

• Catalyst home page
