Your Profile

Once you have logged in, you can view and edit your profile page by clicking your name at the top right of the page. This page contains the personal information associated with your account

“Change password” will take you to a page where you can confirm your existing password and choose a new one.

“Change user name” links to a page where you can alter the name you use to log in. (This is generally not the same as your full name as you want it shown on proposals.) You will need to enter your current password for confirmation.

“Edit profile” allows you to alter your name as it is shown on proposals. You can also choose whether to have your name appear in the user directory.

“Edit email addresses” takes you to a page with a table of all your email addresses known to the system. You can add and remove rows from the table using the “Add address” and “Delete” buttons, but the changes you make are not recorded until you press the “Save” button.

One of your addresses can be designated as your “primary” address — this is the address to which email notifications will generally be sent.

You can also choose whether to make your email address public. When your address is public, it is visible in the following places:

“Change institution” should be used when you have moved to a different institution. You will be able to select your institution from the list of institutions already known to the system, or enter the details of a new institution. Please check the list first to avoid creating multiple records for the same institution.

Editing Institutions

If you are still at the same institution, but something is wrong with the information listed for your institution, you can update the information. Everyone registered to the same institution will then benefit from the update.

You should use this if, for example:

  • The institution name is spelled incorrectly.
  • The address is wrong or has changed.

To get started, click the link “View this institution’s information” on your profile page. This will take you to the institution view. Here you will see a list of the members of the institution. (If they have chosen to appear in the user directory.) Click the “Edit this institution” link to proceed.

Please read the information on the confirmation page, after which you will see the “Edit Institution” page. You can correct any errors in the institution’s record and press the “Save” button.

Note that the “Institution name” should be the main name by which you refer to the institution. The department is optional.
