After logging in to Digital Measures, select "My Profile" from the navigation bar. The My Profile menu item in Digital Measures is your personalized workspace for reviewing, updating and exporting your academic activities. Specifically, from this page, you can manage your academic records, customize your layout, and access tools for reporting.

From the "My Profile" page, beneath the page header, you can connect your ORCID ID to Digital Measures. Linking your ORCID account allows your publication records to be synced seamlessly between the two systems.

On the left side of your screen, there are two options for managing your activity data: "Export" and "Add Activity". The "Export" feature on the "My Profile" page allows you to quickly download your activity data in a structured format for offline use.

The "Quick CV" export generates a Microsoft Word document directly from your Profile view. This export follows the specific order of sections, renamed activity headers, and display styles you've set within your profile. Your standard Formatted Self-Service Reports Profile Details appear at the top of the report.

The Custom Report generates a Vita report from the "Reports" page. Visit the Digital Measures User Guide to learn more about creating custom reports.

You can add new records from My Profile by selecting the "Add Activity" button.

Each activity you enter into Faculty Success, such as courses taught, publishing a paper or serving on a committee, is referred to as a record within the system. You may also see the term activity used throughout the system. These two terms are used interchangeably and refer to the same type of information: entries that document your academic contributions. To learn more about entering new Activities, visit the Digital Measures User Guide.

Below the activity data management buttons, the "Customize Display" button allows you to personalize how the "My Profile" page appears. You can adjust the layout to prioritize categories you access frequently and collapse categories you use less often for easier navigation.

Returning to the header section of the page, the "Search" bar allows you to locate a specific record you've already entered to review and modify as needed. You can search by keywords, titles or other information included in the record.

Below the search bar, you'll find a toggle labeled "Show categories with no records in profile". Enabling this option allows you to view all categories available, including those that have no records entered into them yet. This feature is useful if you're unsure whether a category exists for a certain type of activity. It also helps identify categories where you may need to enter new information.

Lastly, if you are looking to modify existing records, select the name of the activity area you would like to edit.
