Tips

What is the best profile link to use?

The person edit form provides fields for linking to other profile pages for more complete information. At Stanford, we have at least two websites that provide people profile information:

• Profiles: https://profiles.stanford.edu/
• StanfordWho: https://stanfordwho.stanford.edu/

Choosing one may be dependent on the purpose of your website. You may also choose to link to the person's personal website. Keep in mind that profiles on either system are sometimes set to "Stanford-Only."

Profiles provides two views for each person. There's

1. Public: https://profiles.stanford.edu/<person's name>
2. Intranet (requires authentication): https://profiles.stanford.edu/intranet/<person's name>

Unless your audience is internal, you will want to use the public view.
