Profile page
The website for Karolinska Institutet features "profile pages", a page about you as a KI co-worker. It contains basic contact information, but it can also be extended with more information about your work.
On this page you will find answers to questions and instructions on how to work with your profile page.
The profile page consists of two parts:
- Contact information and information about your position and organisation that are retrieved from KI's identity and authorisation system IDAC. If the information is incorrect, this must be changed in IDAC. Contact your HR administrator.
- A personal part. This part is the responsibility of each employee. You fill in additional information that can help a visitor understand the role you have within KI.
The profile page shall contain information relevant to your work at KI and follow the Rules for content on KI's central website.
The website automatically collects information from IDAC every day. Information about who has quit and who has started at KI is also collected. Changes for existing employees are also downloaded.
If you are just starting out at KI, it may take a day or so before your profile page is available on the website.
When your employment or connection ends, your profile page also disappears.
Edit your profile page
Enter https://staff.ki.se/login if you are not already logged in on the Staff portal. You can also click on "Log in" in the header.
Please NOTE! You cannot use Internet Explorer when you edit your profile page. Please use another browser.
Username field: Enter your KI-ID
In Password field: Enter your password (the same as when you log in to your computer/email)
Click on Log in and you are now in the system.
At the top of the page there is now a black list, with your name on it. Below your name is a Edit Profile link, where you can edit the profile page.
You can prepare the information you wish to add in a separate document. In this way it is possible to make the changes quickly and the information is still available if, for example, the web browser is closed before you saved the changes.
You add all the information in the same form, but in different sections. You only fill in the fields that you wish to be seen on your page.
URL to the profile page
The address is generated from your email address. People with the same name, are distinguished by the email address by a number, this will also be reflected in the URL. Example: johanna-sjoblom-1.
- medarbetare.ki.se/people/fornamn-efternamn for Swedish version
- staff.ki.se/people/name-surname for English version
Basic contact information
Title
The title displayed by your name is the position you got when you were hired. It cannot be changed.
Name, email and phone number
Name, email address and telephone number are obtained from IDAC. The basic setting is that mobile numbers are automatically hidden on the profile page. To show or add a mobile number, change your settings in IDAC.
Organisation
The organisational affiliation appears as a tree on your profile page. If you have multiple affiliations, all are displayed together with the position linked to the organisation.
On the English profile page, there may be Swedish names on some organisational affiliations. This is because there is no English translation on the organisation posted in Primula.
If you click on a link to an organisation from the profile page, you will be taken to a page where all employees and members of the group are shown in an automatically generated list from IDAC.
Addresses
The visit address shown on the profile page is obtained from IDAC. If you want to change it to something else, you can do it in IDAC. The mailing address is obtained from IDAC and is linked to the organisation you belong to. If you have multiple affiliations, the address that belongs to your primary affiliation will be displayed.
Add information
The profile page can also be extended with more information about your background, your work, assignments and publications.
Updated profile pages will make it easier to get in touch with the right person and competence, for both external visitors and other staff. The profile page is usually the first hit of a search on your name via KI's search engine and often also the first hit when searching on, for example, Google.
The content shall reflect your role at KI, information about, for example, assignments in companies, associations or anything else that is outside this role shall not be inserted to the profile page.
Since the profile page is a presentation of yourself, use first person in body text.
News articles about you can also be displayed on the profile page. This is determined by a web editor adding you in a news article.
