Become a User: Overview

The 'Become a User' section will walk you through the setup process. However, if you would like a description of what this entails, please read on.

• I have an active Gatorlink Account - A Gatorlink account will be necessary to login to the CCSHub website and equipment login stations (TUMIs). If you have an active Gatorlink account, choose this option. If you do not have an active Gatorlink account, please refer to the 'I do not have an active Gatorlink Account' section below.
  • I would like to Request Service - Choose this option if you would like CCSHub staff to perform a task on your behalf. Service requests require the 'funding source' prerequisite. For more details on the funding source prerequisite, see the information under 'I would like to use CCSHub Equipment' > 'Funding Source'.
  • I would like to use CCSHub Equipment - Choose this option if you would like to use CCSHub equipment. CCSHub equipment may require various prerequisites be met before equipment may be reserved/used. If a prerequisite is not met you will be redirected to a prerequisite page which displays a checklist of the prerequisite(s) that require completion before continuing. Listed below are the standard prerequisites required for resource use.
    Note: Prerequisites may vary. To see the required prerequisites for specific equipment, please refer to the links in the 'Prerequisite Status' section located on the left side of your User Panel.
    • Funding Source - At least one source of funds must be setup and unexpired in order to request service or use equipment. Both internal and external types are available for setup.
      • Internal (UF) Funding Sources - To setup an internal funding source, you will select your PI from a list, or if not in the list, provide the PI's name. An approval email will then be sent to the PI. You will receive an email response once the PI approve or denies your request.
      • External (Non-UF) Funding Source - To setup an external funding source, enter your contact and billing information. You will receive and email confirmation once CCSHub fiscal staff processes your request.
      • Note: Funding sources may expire (likely for internal). You can see the expiration date using the 'My Funding Sources' link on your User Panel. If your last funding source expires, and you request service or attempt to make a reservation, you will be redirected to the prerequisite page and prompted to resubmit a funding source request before continuing.
    • Equipment Authorization - Use of equipment will require a record of authorization be entered by staff.
• I do not have an active Gatorlink Account - If you do not have an active Gatorlink account, choose this option to create or reactivate an existing Gatorlink account.
  • Service Consultation - Prior to activating your Gatorlink account, we request you provide a description of the service you are seeking. This is to ensure we can meet your needs before continuing the setup process.
  • External User Form - Once staff reviews your service description, and we are able to meet your needs, staff will email an External User Form link. The External User Form will prompt you for your contact and billing information.
  • Gatorlink Account Activation - Once we receive your External User Form we will enter/update your information in the UF system. We will then send you an email with your UFID.
    • If a new Gatorlink account is created
      • You will also receive a Gatorlink invitation email from UF. Follow the Gatorlink invitation email instructions to setup your account.
    • If your Gatorlink account is reactivated
      • You will receive an email with instructions on how to reset your password, if necessary.
    • Once your password is set, click the second link provided in the email to complete the CCSHub Gatorlink setup process.
  • If you were seeking to have service performed for you, staff may have automatically promoted your 'Service Consultation' to a 'Service Request'. You will be able to see the request on your User Panel if the promotion was performed. If a service request does not appear, refer to 'I have an active Gatorlink Account' > 'I would like to Request Service' for further details.
  • If you were seeking to use CCSHub equipment, refer to 'I have an active Gatorlink Account' > 'I would like to use CCSHub Equipment' for further details.
