HOW-TO: Modify Your Profile

OVERVIEW

There are many reasons to modify a profile, such as changing an organization or country or correcting the misspelling of a name. This can be done from any page

Important

No Chair can modify a user's profile. Only the owner of the account can modify the profile
Modifying a profile is not the same as changing your account email.

Logged into CMT and click your name dropdown, then select ‘User Profile.’

USER PROFILE PANE

On the User Profile pane, enter the fields that need modification. The fields marked with an asterisk are required.
Click 'OK' to save the changes.

Note

If you have an issue with modifying your profile, please check the FAQ

MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS

If you are a part of multiple organizations, they can be listed in the Organization field with each one separated by a semi-colon.

SCHOLAR IDS

Enter Scholar IDs if applicable.

DO NOT SEND ANY CONFERENCE EMAIL

At the very bottom of the Profile dialog box, there is a setting 'Do not send me conference email (check this option only if you don't want to be contacted by any conference).'

Check this box if you do not want to be sent any emails from any conference in CMT, then click 'OK.'

UPDATING SUBMISSION AFTER PROFILE IS MODIFIED

Important

If a user updates their profile but has existing submissions, their author information will NOT be updated automatically.
It must be done manually.

If the submission is still editable, ANY co-author can make the change (just not the author whose information is being changed).

Note

If the submission is NOT editable, the Chair must do this procedure instead of the co-author.

SCENARIO: The second author, 'Author Two', updated their profile Organization/Affiliation from CMT3 to YALE.

Author Two's profile now shows YALE.

Co-Author

Have the Co-Author log into CMT.
In the Author Console, the Co-Author clicks 'Edit Submission'

The submission shows CMT3 for Author Two; we want it to show "YALE."

In the Edit Submission page, Make a note of the order of the authors, who is the 'Primary Contact', and Author Two's 'Email', 'First Name', 'Last Name', 'Organization' - (knowing this field is what we will be changing from CMT3 to YALE), and 'Country/Region'
Click the X to remove Author Two, but DO NOT SAVE
