Create Faculty Profile
Administrators who manage faculty profile data can easily add profile records in the User Interface as well as edit existing profile records.
Create Profile
- Navigate to the Faculty page and click the Create Profile button in the upper right-hand corner.
- Complete the Create Profile form, including the Personal Information, Profile Details, and Address.
For detailed information about the required profile fields, their implications (such as how the "Hire Date" can affect timelines), and which fields are permanent versus editable, please refer to our article on how to Load Data in Bulk to LM.
FAQs
Can faculty profile information be added manually through the user interface?
No. Right now, there are three ways to add a faculty record; CSV import, Public API, and Faculty Search (FS) to Lifecycle Management (LM) integration.
What information can be updated with the file update toggle?
The profile and appointment records can be updated via CSV upload. This can also be accomplished via public APIs. At this time, email address is the key identifier for appointment and profile records and thus cannot be updated. Items that cannot be updated include:
- Profile - Email cannot be updated
- Appointment - Series, Rank, Start date and Email
If an update needs to be made to individual elements, all existing elements should be included with the file upload. For example, if a faculty member's profile currently includes an avatar link, and the new faculty file (with an updated office location, for example) does not include the avatar link, the existing link will be removed from the faculty profile.
How can extensions and international numbers be captured on the Faculty Profile file?
The phone number file will accept values in the following formats: "(XXX-XXX-XXXX)", 555-333-4444 EXT. 233 as well as +44 20 8673 5497
