Administration · Autessa Ethics Hotline
Hotline page text
Autessa Ethics Hotline lets the committee edit what the public hotline page says: the organization name, the introduction, what to report, the emergency note and what happens after a report is sent. Leave any box empty and the hotline uses plain standard text.
Why it matters
The hotline should sound like your organization
Your policy may name specific concerns, a different emergency number or a promised response time. Reporters trust a page that matches the handbook. Editing the words should not need a developer, a ticket or a redesign.
What you get
- Five editable blocks: organization name, introduction, what to report, emergency note, after a report is sent.
- Empty boxes fall back to tested standard text.
- Generous limits: up to 2,000 characters for the longer blocks.
- Changes show on the hotline straight away.
- Every save is logged.
