Should my Administrative Assignments appear in the University Dossier?

by

Data from the Administrative Assignments screen in Activity Insight DOES appear in the University Dossier.

As of July 2017, per Blannie Bowen, Vice Provost of Academic Affairs, the data in the Administrative Assignments screen will now appear in the University Dossier. Specifically, this will appear as the first bullet under the Service to the University section.

If you have any further questions, please, contact the AI Support Team. AI-Support@psu.edu

How can I attach supplementary documents? How can I report on them?

by Leave a Comment

There are sections built into some screens that allow users to store supplementary documentation including:

  • Lists of Courses Taught in Resident Instruction (Syllabus and Peer Reviews of Credit Instruction)
  • SRTE and Teaching Evaluation (Supplementary Documentation)
  • Publications (Supplemental Documentation)
  • Papers, Presentations, Seminars, Workshops (Supplemental Documents)
  • Outreach – Peer Review of Manuscripts, etc. (Supplemental Documentation)

If a document is stored within Activity Insight, it will not print on most reports.   To access these documents again, return to the screen where it is stored and you can download the document to your local system.  Another way to see all of your attachments that are stored in Activity Insight is to run the report titled “Attachments and Supplemental Materials”.  This will produce a document with links to each attachment within the system.   Only those with access to Activity Insight will be able to successfully access the attachments.

What is the difference between “Rapid Reports” and “Run Reports”?

by Leave a Comment

When using the “Rapid Reports” button at the bottom of the page, the citation style that will be used is APA. If you would like to choose a different citation style, you will need to use “Run Reports“, here you will be able to choose from APA, MLA, and Chicago.

“Rapid Reports” only runs a report for the person who is logged into Activity Insight, or for whomever you are managing data for. “Run Reports” allows you to choose a single report for multiple individuals if you have access rights to manage other users.
