Science Diversity CenterCabinets, Drawers, and Folders Drawers (green) are shown in this area so that they can be expanded to show the Folders (Manila) they may contain. Clicking on the symbol, expands the Folder to show the Records it contains. Clicking on the name of the Drawer it expands to show all the Records that the Cabinet may contain. Once a Cabinet (blue) is clicked, it opens to show the Drawers (green) it contains Cabinets

Opening “eResearch Assistant” Cabinet (shows the five Drawers (green) 2.Opening one of the Drawers (Federal Agency Awards) by clicking on the “+” symbol. Once clicked it becomes “-” and displays the Folders that it contains. 3. The next column (light blue) is a partial listing of the records that the Folder contains. 4. Notice that “My Research Folders” Drawer as well as “My Research Portfolios” include the “Login” folder and you may login from either place.
Science Diversity Center – Dissecting the siteLogin and Registration This is the general Login screen. It is accessed by clicking on “Login” button and then “clicking on “Register”. Complete the registration form and click on the “Submit” button.
Science Diversity Center– Dissecting the site What Happens After Registration and Login 1. Once registered and logged in you may create folders by clicking on “Manage Folders”. 2. The screen shown pops-up. 3. To add a new folder, enter its name in the “Folder Name” area, e.g. Computer Science Once button “Submit” is clicked, the new folder name will appear in the Folder List area, as well as under the “My Research Folders” folder. 4. In the example shown two folders have already been created while a third is ready to be submitted. 5. To delete an existing record, click on it, and a screen appears which allows you to delete the selected record.
Science Diversity CenterDissecting the sitePopulating Folders with Grants and Awards Click on the trash can symbol to remove record from your folder. The steps to populate grants and awards in your personal folders are the following: 1. Click on “My Research”. No folders are shown. 2. Click on “Federal Agency Awards” folder. Once awards are shown on the screen, select the one desired and drag it to “My Research” folder. In the example above the selected award (Condensed Matter Physics) has Been selected. The message shown asks you to confirm the selection. Once confirmed, “My Research” folder color changes to red. 3. Once you have transferred all the desired files, “My Research” folder will indicate this fact by creating the folder “Awards” . In a similar fashion grants may be added.
