ORCID integrates with Boston College's Faculty Annual Report software (Faculty180) to provide a fast and reliable way to fill out the Faculty Annual Report. Faculty who have already created an ORCID at bc.edu/orcid and filled out their profile are able to pull that information from ORCID to Faculty180 with just a few clicks.
Use the ">" button on the tutorial below to move back and forth in the slideshow.
To import data from ORCID to your Faculty Annual Report, begin by logging into the Faculty Annual Report software (Faculty180) account by going to Agora (https://portal.bc.edu) and logging in with your BC ID. Then, click on "Faculty Annual Reports" under the "Academics and Courses" heading. This will automatically log you into your Faculty180 account.
You will arrive at this homepage on Faculty180.
Click on the "Vitas & Biosketches" link in the left hand navigation pane.
Click on the "Create or Connect your ORCID iD" link under the "Vita / Profile Systems" dropdown.
The Faculty180 software will request access to ORCID so that it can read what information is in your ORCID profile. Sign in with your Boston College institutional account by clicking on the "Institutional Account" button.
After clicking on "Institutional Account", you will need to choose your institution. ORCID may suggest Boston College or you may have to search for it. Click on Boston College to use your BC single sign-on to access your ORCID account.
After you have logged into your account, you will need to authorize Faculty180 to access your ORCID profile. Make sure that the "Allow this permission until I revoke it" box is checked and click the "Authorize" button.
Confirm that your ORCID is correctly listed under "Vita / Profile Systems" in Faculty180.
In the same section as the previous step, click on the "Import" button.
After you click "Import" Faculty 180 will list all of the potential information it could pull from ORCID under various different categories. Faculty180 can pull in anything listed in ORCID profiles including publications, biographical information, new funding sources, education, etc.
At this point, you can choose to pull some or all of the information ORCID has into your Faculty180 profile. At this time, we recommend pulling only "Works" (e.g published articles, conference proceedings, etc.) from ORCID into Faculty180.
Look over your selections once again to ensure that everything you wish to import has been checked. Don't worry if you chose not to import something or forget to check it - you can always come back to the import manager later. Once confirmed, click the "Import" button in the lower left corner.
Once data has been imported into Faculty 180, you must save it by clicking the button in the lower left-hand corner.
After saving your data in Faculty180, you will see a success screen with the upload result (circled in red).
In the Faculty180 portal, click on "Activities" to view the articles and other academic work you imported from ORCID. At this point, you can:
1) Edit the information that was imported by clicking on the pencil,
2) Delete an article by clicking the "X", or
3) Make a copy of the article by clicking on the two rectangles.
Congratulations! You've connected your ORCID profile with the Faculty Annual Report software, Faculty180. You can return to the import dialog at any time to update your Faculty180 profile by going to "Vitas & Biosketches", scrolling down to "Vita / Profile Systems", and clicking "Import" (see Step 9 for instructions from there).
