Frequently Asked Questions
Faculty are responsible for entering their own data and confirmation that any imported data (from CSU systems and/or citation systems) is correct. While Deans and Chairs may manage that data from time to time, and administration will assist in data entry and upkeep, ultimately the faculty will handle their own accounts.
Currently, you, your department chair, the dean of your college (as well as any of the dean's designees) and the Provost have access to your data. The Office of Institutional Research and Analysis oversees the system's administration on campus and thus also has access to your data.
With over 2,000 colleges and schools using Digital Measures' activity reporting software, Digital Measures is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all of your information. For a full list of security measures, please visit the Security and Privacy page on the Digital Measures website.

Yes. Digital Measures provides an "out-of-the-box" vita template. You can also define (and save) a custom CV template, if the default Digital Measures one does not meet your needs. To do this, click on the reports link in the blue header bar. Then from the Reports page, click the "+ Create a New Report" link in the upper right corner of the window. In the pop-up window, select the Vita icon. You can add, delete, and move data elements around from there. Additional, more detailed information is available at https://www.digitalmeasures.com/activity-insight/docs/reporting.html.

Since a taught Study Abroad course is through Banner, it will show up in the “Scheduled Teaching in Banner” section of Activities. Under “Delivery Mode” there is a drop down menu with a Study Abroad option. We also recommend uploading any relevant itineraries, documents, photographs, etc., under the Additional Documentation section.
To suggest screen/field revisions, please contact your DM University Administrator.
