Introduction
Unit Essentials is a centralized collection of resources that staff members can use to access administrative and practical information. This collection typically combines various content types, including:
Elemeno resources and forms
External website links
PDF documents
Rather than duplicating your institution's intranet content, Unit Essentials augments it by providing unit-specific information and streamlining access to frequently needed information.

If you see something you need in another unit's Unit Essentials, reach out to your CSD to have it syndicated to your Unit Essentials.
