Faculty and staff can invite others to serve as their proxy and submit activities on their behalf. When you receive such an invitation, you will need to accept it before you can proxy the requested content.
Step 1: Find your Invitation
You can navigate to the invitation to proxy 3 different ways:
Option 1: Via Email
When a faculty/staff activity lead invites you to proxy an activity for them, you will receive an email invitation.
Click on the login to Collaboratory link in the email. If you are not already logged in, you will be asked to do so.
Once you are logged in, you will be immediately taken to the Be a Proxy filter within Invitations. Skip to Step 2: Accept the Invitation (below).
Option 2: Via Alerts
If you are already logged in to Collaboratory, you may navigate to your invitation to proxy an activity via My Alerts.
Note that if you have not registered or have never logged into Collaboratory, you will need to use the link in the email that was sent to you to navigate to your invitation.
When you are logged in, select the alert icon in the top right-hand corner, and click on the alert notifying you of the proxy invitation.
You will be immediately taken to your Incoming Invitations table. Skip to Step 2: Accept the Invitation (below).
Option 3: Claim Via Invitation Table
When you are logged into Collaboratory, open your dashboard by clicking on "Dashboard" in the top left-hand corner.
Within your dashboard dropdown select "Invitations".
Within your Invitations table, ensure you are in the "Incoming" tab, with the status set to "Pending". Skip to Step 2: Accept the Invitation (below).
Step 2: Accept the Invitation
When in your Invitations table, you will see the activity that you have been invited to proxy. Select the name of the activity to expand a sub-row and view additional information about the activity.
To claim the activity, click "Accept".
You may include comments to the faculty/staff activity lead that will be sent when they receive the notification that you have accepted the invitation.
Once you have accepted the invitation to proxy, you will be directed to the activity form.
Step 3: Complete the Activity
Accepting the invitation to proxy launches the activity creation process. You can then provide data about the activity in Steps 1-5.
Provide as much information as you can about the activity. In Step 6, you may choose to send the activity to the activity lead for review and submission, or you may submit the activity directly for publication if all required fields are complete. You are able to edit the activity until it is published.
