1DEX is an online portal for all countries to participate, interact and share knowledge and projects.

This Online Services Portal is accessible from any computer or mobile device that is internet enabled. There are no restrictions on the type of operating system.

The video conferencing system currently supports one of the following browsers:
- Chrome
- Chromium
- Opera
- Firefox Nightly

When Apple releases the required browser plugin you will then be able to use Safari as well. We will notify you when that occurs.

Your image on the top right, of this site, has a small round indicator that displays your 'presence status' on the site. There are three conditions that can be displayed:
- available (on-line) = green
- busy (online but do-not-disturb) = white
- not available (off-line) = red

The displayed condition can be changed to assist other members who may want to communicate with you in real-time. This status condition is visible to all members when performing various searches on the this site and where your image is displayed.

No, there are no sign up fees for this initial launching product. There may be a small 'Membership Fee' applicable at a later date as services are firmed up. All members shall be notified well in advance if any fees are applicable.

The SILG Online Services Portal is funded from funds generated from SILG transactions for global humanitarian projects.

Most services on this site are free of charge to members. There are also paid for services to members. Each type of service will clearly display if there are any associated costs. Members will always know in advance of any paid-for-services.

In general the more the membership utilises the services provided through this site the greater the benefits that can be disbursed back to the members.

Members can create their own 'Posts' (publications) by clicking the 'TOOLS' button and then 'create post'.

Posts can be created as:
- a blog
- a news item
- a bulletin item
- an announcement
- an event

Each 'Post' type has publication requirements and will be made available shortly.

There are three PINBOARDS on this site that can be populated by 'Posts':
- Administration Pinboard (used by administration staff to provide association related information)
- Community Pinboard (used by any community member to general community related information)
- My Pinboard (the information that you personally posted on the Community Pinboard)
