In the other information sections, you will see Add and Edit buttons to update your profile information.

TUprofile Sections

As a faculty or staff member, you can update several sections of your profile, including your Academic Biography, CV/Resume, Portfolio, Activities, Website, and Delegates. Among these, the Portfolio and Delegates sections are particularly important for most faculty members. 

Portfolio 

The Portfolio section is where you can maintain your publications, presentations, creative activities, grants/contracts, and other scholarly works. You can manually enter portfolio items or import them using an ORCID ID or PubMed ID.

Importing using an ORCID ID will use your ORCID ID as a unique identifier to pull publications from multiple sources and is the fastest way to update publications. Importing by ORCID ID does not require your ORCID profile to be up to date as Dimensions (the system collecting publications from various sources) simply uses the ID as an identifier. Checking import new publications as pending review will put the publications in a pending state. You will need to individually save pending entries before they become visible. 

You can also import individual publications using a PubMed ID number. Enter the ID of your publication and then review the information before saving.

Delegates 

You can designate up to three people from your school/college or business unit to have access to your profile so they can update it. (They will then see a list of people for whom they are acting as delegates in an Admin tab that will appear when they access TUprofile.) Selecting a person from the list will cause the other person’s profile to appear in their TUprofile tab. Only university employees can designate or act as delegates and all changes are tracked. Only you can assign delegates for your own profile.
