WELCOME TO THE FUTURE!
As you may know innovation is always the key to moving forward and it doesn’t
come at no price; you must be in pursuit of it continuously and challenge
yourself to do more everyday. So this is also an invitation for you to push your
limits forward and give yourself a chance to learn the unknown and actually
apply it in your day-by-day activities.
Taking this into consideration here it is… THE NEW PODIO implementation as a
NATIONAL STRATEGY to keep moving AIESEC MEXICO FORWARD. The aim of
this implementation is to be able to keep track of all the Interested people to
all the Re-Integrated EP’s from Mexico. This will help us know more about
Mexico realities, statistics based on real and updated information and the most
important… the performance of your LC based on a Local Tracking Tool which
all the stages of the EP’s (including the AUDITS!).
Why should you use it? Simple, in order for you to be part of this REVOLUTION
brought by Kasia and Nastia in this MC 2013. Now, the real why? Relies on the
fact that you will be a promoter of this implementation and you should believe
on it so you can share it with all your members in your LC. Remember, it may
seem complicated at first but you just have to give it a try to dominate it.
Wish you the best and enjoy!

3. BASIC RULES
If you are a VP, please make sure you know all the rules, in order to clarify
any doubt the members of your LC may have. It is really important for you to
be aware than the SUCCESS of this implementation is BASED on the
CONTINUOS UPDATE of all the databases.
-
VP’s & Members Rules
o EVERY EP MUST BE REGISTERED BY THE OFFICIAL WEBPAGE OF
AIESEC MEXICO.
o The Optimal Time and Date must be achieved for all EP’s.
o Progress Sliders (Those are only for MC and NST use).
o In order to go to a further stage make sure you create a Task for
your MC or NST in charge asking for approval of the one you are
in.
o Do NOT move forward in the process unless the MC or NST allows
you to.
o Depends on you how fast the process is done so work everyday and
don’t expect to do it all in a few days.
o If EP’s are missing from your Workspace notify the MC.
-
VP’s Rules
o You are the final responsible of your tracking tool, if any member
alters or uses it in the wrong way; you will be the one providing
the needed explanation to the MC.
o The Tracking tool must be known by all the EP’s Managers of the
LC and should be used by all of them. Forget spreadsheets or not
even having a database :o

4. MUST KNOW TERMS
1. PODIO: platform used for web-based collaboration. It is useful to
organization so they can manage, control and administer all their
resources in a more efficient and organized way.
2. LC’s or SU Workspaces: it is the specific space given to an LC or SU
where it can concentrate all the relevant information and keep track of
their EP’s and Team.
3. MC Management Tool: utilized tool to centralized all the registrations of
AIESEC Mexico, approved Events, sub-products and teams. It is used for
both OGX (oGIP and oGCDP).
4. APPs: These are the little “Sections” you can find in the upper part of
the workspace or tool selected. These have different names and
purposes. There are only 3 you will use:
-
OGX GCDP or GIP: National Registration database.
Local EP Tracking Tool oGCDP or oGIP: Local tracking tool.
Approved OGX Events: Authorized events database (OPS and ReIntegration events).
5. Optimal Date: Specific date required for the Process to be done in a
standardize way.
6. Optimal time: The amount of time (hours) required for the process to be
finished, set in the date of approval by the MC or NST.
7. Progress Slider: bar that shows the current % of the process
accomplished so far.
8. Task: petition created by LC’s members, MC or NST in order to obtain an
action, authorization or simple reply of the other person. This is the
must common communication channel to solve any question, to authorize
the next level or to approve/reject an audit.
9. Filters: easy to digest relevant information that shows the updated and
current situation of the LC or the Registrations, they are always located
in the right side of the screen.

5. THE WHOLE THING
First… Something very basic but some people still doesn’t know. In case any of
your members tells you “I can’t upload any file in the Local EP Tracking Tool
process”, please explain the next steps or tell them to read their Manual:
-
Go to the document on PDF or WORD
Select SAVE AS or GUARDAR COMO
Once you have the window of that choice opened- Choose FORMAT or
FORMATO and select .JPEG.
Select Save or Guardar
This option will help them to convert any document from PDF or Word to a
JPEG, it is important to remember than for the EP Contract, TN ID, EP ID,
Insurance, VISA, Passport and CV you can only upload images and not
documents.
= LC’s or SU Workspace =

ASSIGINING TASKS
As you may already notice, the most relevant action you must learn how to do
it is… assigning tasks. If you are a VP or EP Manager this will be how you will
actually achieve to move forward in your EP’s flow and how you will be able to
approve your audits. Also, as VP this is how will you can keep track of the EP
Managers that are really working and advancing in the process.
= Creating a Task
EP’s
Create Task

9. = Reading the Tasks =
If you roll down until the bottom part of the EP’s Profile you will find the
tasks summary. The tasks that have been done already will appear as
scratched and on grey color you fill find the final responsible of getting the
task done.
Done Task
Responsible of the Task
Pending Task
= Assigning Tasks =
Once you pressed on Create Task or Crear Tarea, the following window will pop
up and here where you create and assign the task. All the tasks you assigned
or assigned to you, will appear on your notifications; you will received also a
notification an e-mail once the tasks is finished.
Deadline
Task name
Task’s Responsible
Task’s Description

10. When you finish a Task assigned to you, just scratch it by selecting it at the
bottom of the EP’s profile. If you don’t scratch it the person who assigned it
won’t realize that you have done it. For example: If you don’t scratch the Task
Make CV’s corrections, then your MCB or NST won’t know you correct them and
the audit process will be stock.
If you made it so far… CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE DONE!!!
SO SIMPLE!
As you can see the whole PODIO use is quite simple just make sure if you are
responsible for:
-
-
Keep the Tracking Tool updated = Read your e-mail daily and log to
PODIO constantly.
Audit System = Assigning the task to the right MCB or NST and
scratching it once you are finished changing the corrections.
Updating the EP’s profile = If your LC don’t accomplish the Optimal
dates, its performance will be damaged. So make sure all your EP’s are
on the right track.
Checking the LC workspace = Keep a track of the progress so in case
there is a rare improvement you can realize if there is cheating involved.
All= Check your notifications so you are aware of the TASKS being
committed to you by the LC’s and your teammates.
