Training assignments
Creating your own profile
- Add user page to the SEG Wiki
- To access your user page, first make sure to login to SEG's single sign-on system (SSO) using your login credentials
- Then, visit your user page (click on Create on top right)
- Add your own personal information under each category
- For a strong example of a user page, check out the user page of Elizabeth Warren, journals production editor for GEOPHYSICS and Interpretation.
- Add a sandbox — add [[/Sandbox/]] to your newly created user page, save page and then click on the red link that appears. Try some editing - you can do anything you like here and it does not impact the content on the main wiki.
- To add additional sandboxes, change the name of the pages (no need to delete the original Sandbox page). For example, [[/Test 2/]], [[/AVO test/]], and so forth.
Information can include:
- Companies and professional affiliations
- Expertise, topics of interest
- One question about the wiki
- One new page idea for the wiki
- A photo (if you'd like)
