User Profile Preferences

Users can view information about themselves (some they can edit, some they can't) through their My Elentra ME Profile.

How to access a user profile

Any user type should see their own name at the top of the page.

• Click on the name to open the user profile.

• When making any changes to their profile, users must click 'Save Profile' when complete.

Personal Information tab

New in ME 1.17! Users can store a mobile phone number. This mobile number field will only appear if a database setting (events_sms_attendance_enabled) is active.

Here, users can update their email address, phone number (mobile and other), and mailing address. Faculty users can set office hours. This is also where faculty users can consent to video recording (required to use the automated lecture capture tools).

Extended Profile tab

This will appear only if there is user metadata in place and set to be visible for the user. For more information on user metadata, please see here.

Here, users can view their username and change their password. If CBME is enabled for your organisation, this is also where users can set their PIN for assessment and evaluation forms.

How to edit privacy settings

• Click the username badge to open the user profile.

• Set the preferred privacy setting and click 'Update Privacy'.

How to edit notification settings

• Click the username badge to open the user profile.

• Click 'Notification Preferences' in the Profile card in the left sidebar.

• Active Notifications tab: Users can search for and delete any active notifications from here. Active Notifications usually includes any comment and discussion threads a user signed up for from a learning event.

How to provide admin assistants access to faculty accounts

This tool is available to most users, except Faculty:Faculty who have read-only access. Note that it this tool is not just the storage of administrative assistant information; for example, it allows an administrator to act in the system under the identity of the faculty member. As a result, this feature should be used carefully.

• Click the username badge to open the user profile.

• Click 'My Admin Assistants' in the Profile card in the left sidebar.

• Type in the name of another user, and click on it.

• Set access start and finish dates and times to limit when the admin. will be able to be masked as the faculty member. By default it will set access to for one week.

• Click 'Add Assistant'.

• To remove an admin. assistant click the checkbox beside their name and click 'Remove Assistant'.

In this example a faculty member has granted three admin assistants access for different lengths of time.

If faculty link their account with admin. assistants, the admin assistants will see a Permission Masks card on their sidebar and can select to use another id at any time during the active linkage.
