This page explains how to:
You may wish to change your name within Elements. The name that is imported from the HR system can be updated to your preferred name. This will not affect name-based search settings and will only be displayed within Elements.
Step 1. Through the menu hamburger at the top left corner of the home page, Click SET PREFERRED NAME under the ABOUT ME heading.
Step 2. Under the PREFERRED NAME heading, enter your preferred first name and surname in the text boxes provided. Click the UPDATE PREFERRED NAME button to save the changes.
You may like to add a photo and other information about you and your work to the MY PROFILE section of Elements. Your Elements profile can be viewed by other users at UOW, however it is not accessible outside the organisation. Your PUBLIC PROFILE will link to your UOW Scholars.
Under your profile photo and name you will usually see the name of your faculty. Elements only allows you to be allocated to a single school/faculty. By default, this will be your primary group according to your HR records. If you work across multiple schools and/or faculties, you will be assigned to the school/faculty that has the highest FTE proportion.
Step 1. From your Homepage you can edit your elements profile. Click EDIT MY PROFILE to go to you Elements Profile page.
Step 2. Update your photo by clicking the MANAGE PHOTO button. This will allow you to upload and optimise your profile picture within Elements. Click SAVE to confirm your profile picture.
Fields that you can update are indicated by the Edit or Add buttons.
Please add your nominated 2020 Field of Research (FoR) codes to your Elements profile to help your Discipline Leaders as they work towards our next ERA submission.
Add up to three FoR codes to help our UOW Discipline Leaders to assign FoR codes to all UOW publications for ERA reporting. Adding the FoR codes you identify most closely with, will help them make informed decisions for ERA. For more information on 2020 FoR codes go to this ABS site.
This video shows you how to update your profile in Elements. Starting on our intranet page you can click on the systems and platforms link in the top left corner. If you scroll down to Research you'll see Research Publications. Clicking on that link will take you over to your Elements profile.
You'll quickly see in the My Actions section if there are any actions you need to take within Elements. It will tell you if you need to claim some publications or connect your ORCID id for example. The message shows I'm up to date.
What I do want to show you is your Elements profile in the tile on the right of the screen. You can click the 'View my profile' link to view your public facing profile and you can edit your Elements profile by clicking EDIT MY PROFILE.
Within your profile you can manage your photo and see which IDs you've linked to your Elements profile.
But what I really want to show you is how to assign your 2020 Fields of Research codes to your Elements profile. Under 'Labels' click 'Add labels'. A pop-up window appears where you can type in your FOR labels. This is important because as our discipline leaders work to assign FOR codes to all UOW publications, it will be helpful for them to be able to check your profile and see how you define your own research. This will help make an informed decision for ERA. So once you have added your 2020 Field of Research codes, click save changes, and that'll all be saved to your Elements profile under Labels.
To export your CV from Elements, click the CV AND REPORTS button at the top right. A pop-up window will appear where you can specify a date range or download a full academic CV populated with personal details from your profile. You may also select if you would like the export as a PDF or a word document. The date range filter may be useful if applying for a grant that only requires the last 5 years of publications and track record, for example.
