How to Log In and Edit Profile

By Terry Molengraaf June 21, 2021

Edit your SDSU Directory Profile

  1. Log into Drupal via the Tools & Quick Links in the menu. Choose "My Account (Drupal)."
  2. You will be returned to SDState homepage.
  3. Navigate to your profile page. You can search for your profile with the search box.
  4. Once on your profile page, click the “Edit” button in the upper right hand side of your profile page.
  5. Editing profile fields
    • Name, department, title and contact information are pulled from Banner. To edit this information, click the "Edit Contact Information on InsideState" button. This is updated automatically in an overnight feed.
    • Biographical, work and research information is self-entered. Enter basic biographical information in the Short Biography block. Click on the carrot proceeding Academic Experience/Activities, Extension, Professional Experience/Activities or Research to open and add information to an area.
    • Title field: The title field can be overwritten in Drupal. If your Banner Title is not displaying the same as it is on InsideState, please contact web support.
    • Photos: Employee photos for the website need to be professionally done. A portrait studio is available on campus.
  6. Saving the page: From dropdown next to "Change to:" choose one of the following statuses:
    • Ready to Review: If it is ready to be published.
    • In Progress: If you want to hold on publishing changes or are still editing.

Important Considerations

  • It’s vital you select a "Profile Heading" as that will tag you to the Our People pages under the heading you choose.
    • If you are unsure what to set for a profile heading, take a look at your primary department's Our People page and see what your colleagues are using and assign yourself appropriately. You can also contact your department web editors for help.
  • If you choose to include a portfolio or website within your profile, be sure to include http:// or https:// at the start of url e.g: https://www.sdstate.edu.
  • Contact information updates (mentioned in #5 above) can take anywhere from one to two business days.
  • More information about profiles and directories.

If you have questions or need help, please contact websupport.
