Transition from DM to Faculty180

Faculty180 is a faculty and activity reporting tool used for workload reporting, accreditation reporting, annual evaluation, promotion and tenure, CV and bio sketch generation, and more. It is the replacement to Digital Measures (DM), the contract for which ended in May 2016. Based on feedback received about DM over the years, the move to Faculty180 was motivated by the desire for a system that was easier to use, more flexible, and more useful. In 2017, Faculty 180’s parent company was purchased by Interfolio.

If you had an account in DM or started your employment last year, you have an account in Faculty180. If you do not have an account, you may need to contact us. Try logging in, and if you can’t access the system, get in touch at faculty180@boisestate.edu.

DM Data Migration (Summer 2016)

Please note that during the transition from DM, we consolidated several screens from DM in an effort to make data entry easier. For example, all scholarly and creative contributions are now organized into one section. As a result of that, and the fact that Faculty180 requires start dates for all information entered, there are a few points to keep in mind as you look through your data. (Note that we tried to update as many of these records as possible given the information available to us.)

  • If you didn’t put in a Start Date for a record in DM, we put in 1966 for the year in Faculty180.
  • If you didn’t put in an End Date for a record in DM, the record might say “Ongoing” for the End Date.
  • The Profile screen, ‘Work Experience – Non-Academic’ may have academic ranks in it if they were previously entered into the wrong screen in DM. They should be in the ‘Academic Ranks’ screen in the Profile area.
  • Records on the ‘Research & Creative Activities in Development’ screen in DM were reclassified as “Other Works” and given the status of “In Progress”.

To make reviewing your data easier, we suggest you run the ‘Comprehensive Vita—Boise State’ in the Vitas & Biosketches section. Click the ‘or all’ option in the Details box to see all of your data laid out in a vita view. Scroll through your data, and if you see something that needs to be corrected, click on the relevant section heading to visit the input area where you can make edits.

DM to Faculty180 Crosswalk
