Configure Legacy Vitas - Faculty

Legacy Vitas in Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR, Faculty180) are used by faculty members to generate their CVs. The standard CV is the default Vita template. By default, a CV displays all sections that have been created by the institution, and the activities within each section. Additional Vita templates can be configured for multiple unit levels and can be built hierarchically, beginning with the highest institutional level and then for subunits (colleges, departments, and more). This article explains how to construct a Vita using Legacy Vitas.

 

Biosketches are similar to vitas. However, some sections are required to be included in a biosketch and cannot be changed, as this could make the biosketch out of compliance with the granting agency's guidelines. Within a section, faculty members can select which items to display in the selected biosketch. In addition, date ranges for biosketches are typically locked to comply with the granting agency's guidelines.
