Create your Profile and Publish your Page

Step 1 - Click the "Create a Profile" or "Edit Your Profile" Link

After logging in to the Digital Bell, you will be taken to your Dashboard. From your Dashboard, locate the "My Profile" section.

If a profile has not been yet been created, click the "Create a Profile" link. If a profile has been already been created, and a role needs to be selected, or a profile page published, click the "Edit your Profile" link.

Step 2 - Enter your Information and Create your Profile

Clicking the link will take you to your Profile form. In the "Profile Information" section, enter your first name, last name, occupation (e.g. your position at the school, or the type of classes you teach - English Teacher/Biology Teacher/etc.). 

A profile image can also be attached by clicking either the "Upload Image" button (to upload a new image from your computer) or the "Choose from Warehouse" button (for images that have already been uploaded). Once you have entered your information, click the "Submit" button.

Next, in the "Contact Information" section, enter your e-mail address, and, optionally, your phone number and/or personal webpage URL. Once both sections are complete, ensure the "Staff" option has been selected in the "Roles" section. 

Finally, click the "Submit" button to create your profile. This will bring you to the "Edit Profile" page. Here, locate the "Roles" section at the bottom of the page, and click the Edit button (pencil icon) to the left of your "Staff" role.

Step 3 - Create and Publish your Profile Page

In this step, you will create a profile page, using the "Profile Roles" section. After clicking the "Edit" button, you will be taken to the "Profile Roles" page (as shown in the example image). Here, click the "Create Page" button.

This will change the button title to "Publish," and create your page. At this point, a list of available content elements (Text Block, FAQs, Links, Photo Gallery, etc.) will be shown in the right sidebar.

Click the content element links to add content to your page, and once finished, click the "Publish" button. This will publish your profile page to the website, and allow anyone viewing the staff directory to visit by clicking on your name.

See "Adding Content Elements to a Page" for more information on using the content elements to add text or images to your profile page.

See also "Editing your Profile Page" for information on editing your profile page, after it has been published.

Note: you may need to contact your school's website administrator to list your profile in the appropriate staff directory, if it is not already listed.
