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.
