Configure Legacy Vitas - Faculty

Legacy Vitas in Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR) allow faculty to generate their CVs, with the standard CV serving as the default template. By default, it includes all sections created by the institution and their activities. Additional templates can be created for various units (e.g., colleges, departments). Biosketches are similar but have mandatory sections that cannot be altered to meet granting agency guidelines. Faculty can choose which items to display, though date ranges are typically locked for compliance. This article explains how to build a Vita using Legacy Vitas.

 

Configure/Manage Legacy Vitas

Navigate to Vitas & Biosketches > Legacy Vitas. From this page you can Add a new vita or View (Eye), Edit (Pencil), Delete ("X"), or Clone (Square).
