Creating a Custom CV (Activity Reporting and Reviews & Workflows)

Depending on your Institution's subscription, you may have access to the Vitas and BioSketches area under Reporting.  In addition to accessing a standard (or system Vita), NIH Biosketch or Faculty Annual Report, you can also create your own custom CV, which you can save for reuse.

Note:  Custom activities created by your local administrator will NOT appear in the custom CV options at this time.

To create a custom CV:

1.  Click the "Create New" button in the upper right corner.

2.  Name your CV by clicking on the "New Custom CV" header.

3.  Enter a brief description of your CV.

4.  Click on the "Activities" section to choose the items from the Activity Manager to include in your CV.  You can select an entire section or choose specific activity types per section.  Click on the "+" to expand each section.

5  The activities will display in the order selected.  You can move entire sections or re-order items within a section.   To move an entire section, click on the six dots in the left corner of the section and drag the entire section to your desired location.

6.  To reorder specific activity types or remove a type, click on the up and down arrow to move the section, or the trash can to completely remove the activity type.

7.  Save your custom CV (in the upper right corner) and then click "download".  Your custom CV will download as an editable MS Word document.

8.  Your saved custom CV will now appear in the Vitas and BioSketches area for future use.
