If you are already within the Directory application, select "My Profile" in the upper right corner of any Directory screen. When prompted, use your PennKey and password to log in.
Step 2. Review and edit the information panels shown under the Penn Profile tab.
This is the foundation for your listings in both the Penn View and the Public View. While you may update data here, we strongly encourage you to update your data in Path@Penn, which will update your student record data in the Directory within a day or less. If you are also in the Workday system, you may update your "Penn HR"-sourced data in Workday.
Step 3. Select information for the Penn View.
Decide upon and select the information you wish to display in the Penn View, balancing the advantages of being known and accessible to your fellow students with your privacy interests.
To display an entry in the Penn View, select the checkbox that appears to the left of that entry. To conceal an entry, make sure the checkbox to the left of that entry is unselected (empty). To show a particular name, major/organization, phone number, or email in the brief version of your listing that is shown in reponse to a search, also select the round radio button next to that entry.
Step 4. Select information for the Public View.
Click your Public Profile tab in the upper right portion of the screen. Decide upon and indicate which information you want to display in the Public View, which is seen by the general public. You can only choose from the set of information you've already chosen to display in the Penn View. Please exercise caution in deciding how much information to display in the Public View.
To display an entry in the Public View, select the checkbox that appears to the left of that entry. To conceal an entry, make sure the checkbox to the left of that entry is unselected (empty). If you wish to conceal your entire listing either from the Public View only, or from both views, select "Preferences" in the upper left portion of the page. On the Preferences page, mark the appropriate checkboxes. (Note that the option to remove your entire listing from the Penn View will not appear until you have first indicated that you wish to remove your entire listing from the Public View by clicking that checkbox.)
Step 5. Review how your listing appears in response to a search.
Select "Search" in the upper right and search for yourself to see exactly how your listing displays in the Penn View. To see your listing in the Public View, log out and search again.
