Creating Your Profile on the MSI Site

Your last name and email fields are particularly important for the site to run properly for you.

1) Click on your name in the utmost, rightmost corner of the page, on the dark gray bar.
If there is something covering this area (this is common), drag it away.
Your name might be faint and difficult to see.

Choose My Settings, then Edit Item.

2) Fill in the blanks.
       Items with a red star are required.
       You may ignore the photo for now. There are instructions in the MSI site Help files
       on how to upload a picture.

You're done!

3) Students, postdocs, & other group members only
Add the name of your research advisor. Click on the book icon (red oval below).

A dialog box will open (see below), and all the MSI professors should be listed.
       Scroll down to the name and double-click (green oval);
              (To narrow the list go to the Find field (blue oval) and type a name (Jane or Smith)
              or part of a name (Gh), and then hit the "x" (red oval).)

When you double click a name it will appear in the Add field at the bottom.
You may add more than one name if you are co-supervised.
Say "OK". You should see the name(s) in the Research Advisor field.

If your advisor’s name is not on the list, let one of us know right away: mjheil@umd.edu, smela@umd.edu.
