When creating an Appointment or Messaging campaign, please be sure to adhere to the standard naming convention of Unit, Purpose, and Term (e.g., CFA MAP 2nd - S2025). This will help quickly identify campaigns and for reporting purposes. 

We encourage units to agree upon a common title or abbreviation for your unit so all campaigns are easily recognizable. Thank you for your help in bringing consistency to campaigns!

As more users begin using Navigate, inevitably more questions arise. The Navigate team is here to help! 

For technical questions, configuration requests, access issues, or usage questions, email navigateinfo@utah.edu. For questions that are better asked in real time, join our Office Hours on Tuesdays at 3:00 p.m. MT via Teams.

We are more than happy to meet with your unit to go over settings, provide a training, or consult on how to optimize your usage of the software. Please reach out to maggie.blanton@utah.edu to schedule.
