Collaborators and Profiles

One of the primary links, Collaborators, brings up a searchable page that lists all collaborators in the system, including their names, images, and affiliations.  This page is shown below.  Each name and image links to a profile page for that collaborator.

A collaborator’s profile is shown in Figure 6. In this example, Kari is viewing Walt’s profile page.   The profile page shows the collaborator’s full name, affiliation, and image.  Collaborators can also include a link to their professional or personal website.  In addition, all of the groups to which the collaborator is affiliated are listed (see Groups).  User Kari has already subscribed to receive notifications of any posts by Walt (see Subscriptions).  She can cancel that subscription here.  There is also a link to all of Walt’s recent blog postings (see Blogs).
From here a collaborator can also “Track” all content (see Content) belonging to Walt and view any “Web Links” (see Web Links) that he has created.

Once a collaborator has logged into portal he or she can access and edit their account by following the “My Account” navigation link in the left column.  A collaborator’s view of their own profile is shown in below.  Here the user can change their username, email address, password, or upload a new image.  They can also follow the “Personal Information” tab to edit the information visible in their profile.  From here they can manage their subscriptions (see Subscriptions), view the notifications received from those subscriptions, and track their own content.
