Make Sedona Data Public

By default, all Sedona data are only available internally to TWU. No one outside of TWU has access to Sedona data and only a limited number of people within TWU have access to Sedona data (such as a department chair and the dean of a college). To make information publicly available, follow these steps.

1. Log on to Sedona.
2. From the Member Console, select Profile in the upper-right corner.
3. Select the Public tab. 
4. In order to share Sedona data, type a string of characters in the empty box. Do not leave blanks between characters. Use the underscore character to simulate a blank. The string of characters may contain numbers and letters and must be six to thirty characters in length. Numbers are not required. Remember that for web addresses, capitalization matters.
5. After entering an address string, a new link appears. This link becomes active within 24 hours. Clicking that link takes you to your fairly empty Public Profile. Return to your Sedona Public Profile screen to select which data should be available.
6. Make your vitae available by selecting Allow people to see my CV. The note “newly created templates will not be operational until the next day” refers to the drop down list that appears after you select the CV allow option. In this drop-down, you will see all of the available templates or formats for your CV. Select Online (all years) - No SN. 
7. Click the View Your Public Profile link again. The screen looks similar as to when there were no data share, but there is now a Curriculum Vitae tab above your name and on the right, options to export and print your CV. Selecting the Curriculum Vitae tab to see your Sedona CV after it renders.
8. If you would like this public CV to appear on your profile please email this Public URL to my1cv@twu.edu.

Profile Photo

The Sedona Public Profile layout provides a default space for a photo. If you choose to make your profile public, you may choose to add a photo in your Sedona Profile Bio so that your public profile will have a photo. To do this, select the Bio tab and upload a 300 px by 300 px approved TWU headshot.

Public vs. Private

You may change what is publicly available at any time. To remove all public information, return to the Public Profile screen in Sedona and delete the public URL character string. Even though the options below that field remain selected, there is no web address associated with your Sedona data. Therefore no one will be able to access your Sedona public profile

Share a Public Profile
To share the link to your profile with others,  copy the Public URL on the Public tab that includes your character string.
