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 profle
- Modifying a profile is not the same as changing your account email.
NAME DROPDOWN
- 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 dialogbox, 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 submision is still editable, any author can make the change (just not the one being changed).
Note
If the submission is NOT editable, the Chair must do this procedure.
SCENARIO: The second author, 'Author Two', updated their profile Organization/Affiliation from CMT3 to YALE.
Their profile now shows YALE.
- In the Author Console, click 'Edit Submission'
The submission shows CMT3 for Author Two.
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
- Click 'Add'
- Enter correct profile information for Author Two and click 'Add', then 'Save changes' at the bottom of the page.
- Verify the Organization changed
