Introduction
Without a user profile in Talis Courseflow, you can still enjoy some features:
- View public lists
By creating a user profile, you gain access to additional features, such as:
- Create reading intentions
- Save student notes
- View private lists
- Create bookmarks
- Edit lists (if you are an academic or librarian with list publisher permissions)
What's in your profile?
When you create your profile, you'll be asked for the following information:
- Your name
- Your email address
- A self-description (choose from options under broad categories like teaching staff, student, or other)
- Profile privacy/visibility settings: Private or public
Authentication is based on a Persistent ID that your university's login system automatically sends to Talis Aspire. This ID is linked to your profile so you don't need a separate password to access the system.
How to edit your profile
You can edit the information in your profile, including your name, email address, and more. To do this, follow these steps:
- Log in to Talis Courseflow, click your name in the navigation bar, then select "View Profile."
- Click the Edit button (located to the right of your screen).
- Make any desired changes.
- Once you are done, click "Save Profile."
Note: If your tenancy has Automatic Profile enabled, users will not be able to edit their names or emails in their Talis Courseflow profile. Instead, any changes to names and emails will be updated through the university-provided SAML attributes. Learn more in this support article.
