UNH - myElements: Your Profile - Adding/editing an Overview/Bio

Task: This article describes the steps to add an overview/bio in myElements.

Instructions:

The overview/bio that shows on the findscholars and faculty profiles on the college websites is updated in myElements. The end user remains in control of the content and it will feed into the websites. Updates made within myElements cannot be seen immediately on the public profiles. When adding information you should expect to see your updates within 3 business days. NOTE: Character count maxes out at 4000. Anything over this will be truncated.
