There are several reasons why your data might not be showing:

  • Faculty activities in the Global U Inventory are fed from the Elements and MBM systems. Activities need to be tagged with the Global Impact labels (Elements) or Global Impact flag (MBM) in your profile, have the appropriate country(ies) selected, and be flagged for public display to appear in the Global U Inventory. Update your Elements profile here. Update your MBM profile here.
  • Keywords must be entered as a full term or keyword. For example, entering "chem" will not return results for "chemistry" or "chemical."
  • Updated data can take upwards of 24 hours to be fed into the Global U Inventory from Elements and MBM.
  • If you have updated your data and it has been longer than 24 hours, please contact Jon Hughes, Technology Specialist and Database Administrator.

If you have not tagged any of your activities with the Global Impact label in Elements or Global Impact flag in MBM, your profile will not be included in the list of faculty-related search results. Refer to our "how to" pages for Elements and MBM.

Data can take upwards of 24 hours to be reflected in the Global U Inventory results.
