Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2022 08:10:37 +0000 From: AIS - AIDAN <AIDAN@amnesty.org> Subject: Weekly Mailing 07/2022 - February 14th Hello everyone, Please find below a selection of the documents added to AIDAN in the week ended February 11th 2022. Always protect your personal security and that of your colleagues when publishing indexed documents by ensuring names of individual authors are not available on the web – edit the ‘author’ field to show Amnesty International when saving the final version ready for upload. Such names appear in the metadata of PDFs unless you edit such fields before saving in either Word or PDF format. And always include dates, as well as the index, in documents such as open letters and public statements; these are important points of reference for both recipients and colleagues. If you wish to access AIDAN Search using links in Weekly Mailings, you may find that you first have to open the app at https://oneamnesty.sharepoint.com/sites/APP-AIDANSearch and then copy and paste the link shown in this mailing.
