Institution Basic Information

As its name implies, the Institution Basic Information page of the Institution Profile provides a means for viewing and managing fundamental information about the institution such as name, contact persons, etc. This information is divided into expandable and collapsible sections, or tiles.

View the Institution Basic Information section by clicking the Basic Information navigation item at top of Institutional Profile. For most users, the information is read-only, however, if you hold a Commons SO role, you have the ability to edit the information. Regardless of your role, the default view of the Institution Basic Information is read-only.

How Are Data Errors Indicated?

Each component contains certain required information and data validation occurs on Save. If information is missing or data is in the wrong format (for example an email address with no '@' sign), red font and error messages alert you. Specific errors display at the top of the screen after Save, the header with the error appears in red, and specific error message appear adjacent to fields with errors.

How to View Information , or Edit If You Are an SO

You can expand the component tiles partially for viewing (read-only) or entirely for editing. Tiles can be expanded:

• By clicking the heading of an individual component
• By clicking the View All button to expand all components
• By clicking the View button in a specific header to expand that individual component
• By clicking the Edit button to update the component (signing official(SO) role only)

IMPORTANT: Only those users holding an SO role can edit.

Refer to the specific related topic listed below for information on that individual component of the profile.

NOTE: To the left of the Institution Basic Information, you find the Institution Profile dashboard. This dashboard provides quick access information to items such as number of accounts, last updated date, status of required fields, etc.
