Publish/Unpublish a Faculty Member's Web Profile Page
FAR Administrators will indicate which faculty members should have a published Web Profile. This setting can be updated for faculty in bulk via our Base Data model or individually within the UI.
Faculty members cannot make this change themselves. They must reach out to an administrator with any requests to show or hide their profile. Faculty can choose specific data to show or hide on their profile.
Publish/Unpublish Faculty Web Profile Pages in Bulk or Via the UI
Web Profile Visibility can be updated in two ways: in bulk through an upload form or individually on the Add/Edit: Faculty page. Select the tabs below to read instructions on how to update the Web Profile Visibility field using one of these methods.
In Bulk via an Upload Form
To publish or unpublish Web Profiles for faculty members in bulk via an upload form:
1. Navigate to Administration > Setup > Upload Form
2. Download the current template
3. Populate the spreadsheet according to your data model.
4a. If base data autoloads are available for your institution: include the file there following our requirements (naming convention etc)
4b. If base data autoloads are not set up or you wish to do an ad-hoc load: Navigate to Admin > Admin > Bulk Data > Upload Data
Individually via the UI
Faculty profiles can also be published or unpublished individually via the user interface by FAR administrators.
- Log in to FAR
- Navigate to Administration > Administration
- Select Faculty under the section Add/Edit.
- Select a hyperlinked number next to one of the units to view all faculty assigned to that unit.
- Use the search box to search for a specific faculty member.
- Select the pencil icon next to the faculty member's name.
- Locate the Web Profile Visibility field and select Yes to publish the web profile or No to unpublish the user's web profile.
- Select Save.
Data syncs occur nightly so it could take up to 24 hours to see any changes reflected on the Web Profile page.
Note that web profile visibility is not determined by employment or activity status. Whether a faculty member has a profile or not is determined by the new Web Profile Visibility field in FAR.
FAQs
