• WHICH SECTIONS IMPORT DATA FROM THE FACULTY ANNUAL REPORT

The following sections of the CV application are linked to the Faculty Annual Report, which will allow you to import data from your annual report to CV:

• ADDING NEW ENTRIES

To add a new entry to your CV, select the section you want to add a new entry to first. In the function menu located on the right hand side of the screen, click "Add". Fill in the required fields and click "Save". Your new entry is now added to your CV.

• VIEWING, EDITING AND DELETING ENTRIES

To view all entries in the section, click on the "View" button located in the function menu on right hand side of the screen. Scroll up and down to browse through all entries.

To edit any data entry, click on the "Edit" button. Make all necessary changes and click "Save".

To delete and entry, click on the "Delete" button.

• IMPORTING DATA FROM THE FACULTY ANNUAL REPORT

Click on the "Import Data from FAR" button from the function menu. Select the rows of data you wish to import by clicking on the check box. Click "Import FAR Data" button.

You may want to edit your imported data afterwards. E.g., the annual report does not distinguish between external and internal funding. After importing your research funding data, you may want to click "Edit" to specify whether it is an external or internal funding.

• PREVIEWING AND PRINTING CV

To preview your CV, click on the "Preview" button located in the top right corner of the screen. Your CV will open in a new window. The "Print" button is located next to the "Preview" button.

• DOWNLOADING CV IN A PDF/RTF FORMAT

The "Download" button located in the top right corner of the screen allows you to download your CV in an RTF or a PDF format. Downloading CV in an RTF format will allow you to open it in a word processor (e.g., MS Word) to keep changing and formatting it in the way you prefer. Click "Download in RTF format" link, select "Save file" and click "OK".

Downloading your CV in a PDF format will not allow any further editing or formatting. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view a file in a PDF format.
