Accessing Your Information

From the Manage Activities homepage, you may click on any category to expand your related personal information.

If it is your first time using Activity Insight, please check each category to confirm the accuracy of its contained information. In many cases, the Faculty Success (formerly Digital Measures) staff handled your initial data entry so you may need to correct inaccuracies and add omissions yourself.





















Information belonging to “locked” fields has been extracted from Workday and/or Banner and is managed by the Human Resources department.   Contact them (hr@fairfield.edu) if there are inaccuracies in locked field.


Adding & Editing Information

You may add entries to any itemized categories, like Work History, by clicking the + Add New Item button.

You may edit an existing entry by clicking on its listing.










Most itemized entries can be edited. Make sure to Save and changes/additions you make.

If Original CV Data is available for an itemized entry, it means Faculty Success’ staff cited exactly where they pulled your CV information from. It’s a reference, nothing more.












Uncategorized CV Records

If your CV included uncategorized information, you may find it by returning to the Manage Activities homepage, then clicking Uncategorized CV Records towards the bottom. You may want to manually re-work this information into Activity Insight.
