How Can We Help?
Create an Institutional CV templateCreate an Institutional CV template
Administrators of Pure can create custom institutional CV templates tailored to specific use cases. Once created, these templates become available for Personal users to access and use. These CVs are only visible to Personal users within the Editor > Curricula Vitae section. Other users won’t see them here and will instead need to view available CV types under Administrator > Curriculum Vitae Types.
Getting started
To create a new institutional template go to Administrator > Curricula Vitae > Curriculum Vitae Types.
Select Create new template
In order to make sure the template will bring in the data as expected, the first step is to pick a Person. It is recommended to pick a Person with data that fits into the purpose of the template.
The person can be replaced from this section in the template, in case you need another one with different data.
Adding title, description and logo
In the top of the CV template builder, you can add details as Title, description and upload an institutional logo:
This is how it could look once the details are filled in:
Adding content types for the CV template
In the bottom of the CV template builder, there are a number of Data Tables in tabs, and one Data Story that contains the CV template itself.
If you are experienced with reporting in Pure, then the look and feel may be familiar to you.
The CV is build from a default template that contains a number of predefined Data tables. If you want the CV template to contain more content types, you can add another data table.
Adding a Data table
- Press Add data table
- As the CV always will have a Person to populate from, you need to select Person when adding a new Data table
- Press + to add a relation.
This is a relation to the content type that will be used in the CV. - Pick the values to be used in the CV.
This will show data for the content type selected, for example Title, Type, Year etc. - Add any filters if needed.
May be useful if the CV for example should only contain content within a defined year range, or selected types of Research outputs. -
Rename the Data table
Strongly recommended to keep the current Data table recognizable from other Data tables.
See the recording below for this process (Without filter selection):
Adding new sections in CV
Go to the Data Story.
A new section can be added anywhere where this is shown:
| + |
Clicking that will give these options:
For in-depth description of these types, please visit Visualization types
A section is defined by a visualization type, which must be associated with a Data table that contains the content type. Thereby, the fields defined for the content type will be populated in the selected visualization type.
Saving the template
Once the template is complete, and the details (Title, description and logo) have been added, it can be saved.
After saving, make sure you enable it for use from the Curriculum Vitae Templates overview page.
It is then ready to be used by the users.
See Create an Institutional CV for how to use the teamplate.
