Digital Measures Integration

Digital Measures integration is now available for faculty members in the College of Agriculture and Applied Science and main OU Campus sites.  For best results, faculty directories need to use the Overview or Universal layout option for the entire unit.  Faculty members who do not wish to include Digital Measures as part of their directory page do not need to do anything, their information will continue to appear as it has previously.

Faculty members who do wish to include Digital Measures as part of their directory page will need to opt-in as follows:

  1. Go to their directory page and click the Admin link at the bottom of the page.

  9. Digital Measures publication screen (highlights text below)
    1. Current Status
      1. must be ‘Published’ or ‘Accepted’ to appear
      2. Any other choice will not appear
    2. If ‘Published’ or ‘Accepted’ has been selected, and the faculty member does want the record to appear, they need to change the status in ‘Post Record to Website’ as follows:
      1. ‘Yes, standard record’
      2. if they do not want the record to appear, select ‘No, do not post’

        NOTE:  If a publication has more than one author, it will only be listed in the Directory for the individual faculty member who chooses to have it posted.
  10. Digital Measures “tabs” will appear at the bottom of the faculty member’s page for any items in the selection categories (see information, above) they have included (see example below).  Sub categories, if any, will appear if you click on the general tab associated with them (i.e. Abstracts, Journal Articles, etc. for Publications).  You will know that sub categories are included by the downward facing triangle in the tab.

Please note that if you have information for the Bio, Expertise, Emphasis and Educational Background in your current (non-Digital Measures directory listing), the information provided by Digital Measures will appear in its place.  Information entered in those categories in your directory page will still be saved, but will not appear.

If you make changes to your Digital Measures information and it doesn’t immediately appear on your webpage, wait a moment and refresh your page.
