User, Profile Page
- Once the IPM searches for a user they can click on either the Name, Screen Name, or Email to view user profile information
- Users can be deactivated and deleted from the user page, using the [...] menu button on the right side of the screen
- Deactivating a user will prevent that user from logging into the system. However, all associated data including submissions, comments, votes, and action item results will remain.
- When viewing a deactivated user from this screen, a note will be displayed alongside their name indicating the admin who deactivated them and the corresponding date
- Deactivation is reversible; deactivated users can be reactivated from the same menu
- Deleting a user will permanently delete the user's account and all data associated with it. The confirmation prompt will provide an overview of what will be deleted so that you can understand the scope of impact.
- On the User page the IPM can also view information such as Key Metrics specific to the the user, Expertise and Endorsements, and Certifications.
- Key Metrics include:
- Overall Contribution: This is a percentile rank of the user based on reputation points.
- Challenge Participation Rate: This is a percentile of the number of challenges that the user participated in (either vote, comment, or submitted idea), divided by the total number of challenges that the user is in the user access groups.
- Evaluation Participation Rate: This is a percentile of evaluation action items (Review, Single Scale, or Scorecard) that the user completed divided by the total number of evaluation action items that have been assigned to the user.
- Complete Projects: This is the total number of projects with a “Completed” system status that the user is either on the project team or is project lead.
- Tracked Outcomes: This is a sum total of revenues and cost savings for projects that the user is either on the project team or is project lead.
- Administrators can also add certifications to each user selected, users will now be able to view their certifications on their Enterprise profile page:
- In addition, Users that receive certifications will be notified via email. This email can be configured under Enterprise Setup > Site > System Email Messages > Certification Received
Users, License and Roles
-

Administrators
- The administrator tab provides a list of users who are configured under an 'administrator' type user role on your Brightidea site.
- Under this tab, the administrator(s) can see a total count of current administrator(s) and also see what Pipeline/Challenge the user is actually configured an administrator in.

- To update a user profile via import select the same import template that is used to import new users.
- Note: The groups field does not overwrite with subsequent imports, any new data is appended.
- Note: In some cases new values are created for profile fields if they do not exist already - e.g. dropdown fields or checkbox fields.
- All Profile fields can be updated in the template except the "Email" field.
- The email address is used as the main account identifier to update account.
- Note: In order to update user profiles the user email must remain the same (as the one that already exists on the user(s) profiles).
- Fill in the updated profile data and run the import.
- Once the file is imported the IPM will receive confirmation that all users were successfully updated.
- The updates will populate the user's profile fields.

Where do these certifications show for the user or for others looking at the user profile?
Hi Damian,
Good question, it doesn't show anywhere right now (other than the People Pillar for Administrator). This is functionality that is planned to be built out in the near future.
Thanks,
Brightidea Support
When you say near future, when is that?
Hi Damian,
I would say late Q1 of 2016, but there is no specific ETA set right now.
Thanks,
Brightidea Support
I see that a user can add expertise, but where does this show for others?
Also, where do the accreditations show?
Hi Damian,
The expertise will only show up if someone visit a user's profile page that had expertise inputted by that user. They will not show up anywhere else at this time.
Can you clarify what you mean by "accreditations"? Are you referring to the People Pillar 'Certifications'? Those will only appear in the back-end for the administrators right now.
Thanks,
Ron
