Activities

Why are there some records that have a "lock" icon next to them?

If you notice some records for an activity screen with collaborators (For example, Publications) appear with a "lock" icon, this means that another user created the entry and added you as an author/collaborator. If changes need to be made, the record owner will be responsible for completing the changes. Steps for determining the record owner are shared in this article. 

How do I edit a locked record if the record owner left the university?

Contact your administrator and request that they transfer ownership of the record

How do I know where to put each of my different types of activities?

We intend for the names of each screen to assist you in determining this. With this said, each campus has the ability to customize Faculty Success to meet its own specific needs, and as a result many have created their own custom materials to provide guidance in response to this question. We encourage you to contact your Faculty Success Administrator to inquire if such a document is available, or with any specific questions you may have.
