Faculty Success FAQ

General

Yes, you can modify the activities as many times as you want.

 

Faculty Success, like many other online software platforms, adds and updates functionality in the platform on a regular basis, with product updates every two weeks.

Updates to the platform are released every other Tuesday. With many of the releases, Faculty Success now displays a Release Notes modal/popup which provides more information on the recent changes to the platform. Once a user logs in, they can click to read more, which will remove the modal for the remainder of the duration. When the Release notes pop-up goes live, it will be from Tuesday to the following Wednesday.

Grants and Financial Awards

It is possible to see a project or award listed multiple times on the ORA Managed Awards summary screen, if you are listed as an investigator on more than one account for the award. If there seems to be an error, requests for corrections to Kuali Research for any active projects can be made through your department's business administrator.

 

 

Advising

No. The Research Advising data screen captures information for one student per data screen. The Duplicate feature can help reduce the data entry burden. On the Research Advising summary screen, click the checkbox to the right of an entry that is similar to the student you need to add. Then use the Duplicate button to create a copy. Edit that copy, updating the fields as needed to describe the research advising activity.

 

 

Scheduled Teaching and Course Feedback

Please use the Course Experiences website for a more detailed view of your course feedback results and student comments. If you have questions about the data on this screen, contact the CourseExp Help Center.

 

Publications

Manually entering publications is an option, but to save time we highly recommend using one of the publication import options built into the platform. For help with importing or manually adding publications, refer to our LibGuide.

 

 

Appointments at UMD Screen

If an appointment was terminated and replaced with another appointment, the appointment duration may only be one day. Another reason may be that the appointment was for a Non-Standard Payment and was for a lump sum, causing it to have a duration of only one day.

 

 

Reports

To help you with successful annual report completion, we have included an Annual Report Data Fields guide that maps each section of the report back to the relevant screen in Digital Measures where the data is drawn from.
