Questions and answers

Q: There is incorrect information on my faculty page or elsewhere on the web site. How do I correct it?

A: Email <chemweb>.

N.B. Some information on each faculty page comes from the faculty pages linked from the "A&S People" site:

• http://people.as.cornell.edu/

Q: I updated my "A&S People" page, Workday, and/ or WhoIAm information. Why are my updates not showing up on my faculty page?

A: It's variable, and not always immediate.

A&S Comm noted June 2016:

• We're not specifying "refresh times" as these can vary quite a bit, and some data fields are set up to import automatically, while others we import manually on a schedule. No piece of information should take more than 24 hours to show up in the new profiles after making an edit in VIVO or Workday. If any faculty members do have concerns that updates are getting delayed longer than that, (...) let us know then.
  • Arts and Sciences Communications <as_communication@cornell.edu>

Data-point from Chemistry IT's testing (June 2016):

• Updating ones office room building name and number in WhoIAm shows up right away on the faculty page.

Q: Who runs the site and the faculty pages?

A: Hosting: A&S Communications

A&S Communications is responsible for creating and hosting the department's website. It runs on Drupal.

N.B. A&S Communications create and maintain the faculty pages and the associated "feeds" from A&S People, Workday, and WhoIAm.
