Profile picture and press photo
Displaying a photo adds to the visitors impression or your page, and you. If you wish to change your profile picture, you can do so yourself. Find out how in the manual Upload a new photo on your personal page. The manual includes recommendations for cropping the image to the correct proportions.
You can also add a link to a high-resolution press photo in the University's image database, Mediabanken. Do so through the field Press photo. Add a link by right-clicking the photo in Mediabanken and choose "kopiera länkadress" (copy address to link).
To do so, a high-resolution photo must be available as an external image in the media bank. If Inhousebyrån has taken a portrait photo, they can assist you in adding it (order a portrait photography from Inhousebyrån here). If you are ordering a portrait photography from Inhousebyrån, please remember to note if you wish to use the photo as a press photo. If you need to make a press photo taken by someone else than Inhousebyrån, please contact Servicedesk.

Link to map
You can add a link to a map pinpointing your visiting address on our digital map available for Campus Umeå, Campus NUS and Umeå Arts Campus. You can only enter one pinned link on the map, meaning that if you have more than one visiting address, all will be replaced by the map link.
To safeguard your personal security, Umeå University does not recommend that you pin your actual, personal office or desk space using this map link. Instead, pinpoint the entrance to your corridor and floor level.
To create a link, go to the digital map and find your building. Click where you want to guide visitors to (your corridor or level) and press the link "Dela" (share). Untick "kortlänk" and copy the long URL and paste it on your personal page.
Tabs containing further information
Underneath the contact details, more personal information can be presented in five tabs. Only tabs filled with content will be visible on the page.
Short and long presentation
The short presentation will be shown at the top of the page and is also displayed in staff directory lists. The long presentation can be used to describe your work in more detail, both in Swedish on the Swedish page and in English on the English page. You can edit these texts yourself in fields on the page.
