ASPeN - Updating Position Information

ASPeN - Updating Position Information

Draft
  1. Log in to ASPeN at http://aspen.mt.gov/ and following THESE KB article directions.
  2. You should now be looking at a page titled Search ASPeN (aka back to the page the above had originally taken you to before you logged in)
  3. Right-hand side under the gray box click "ASPeN Admin"
  4. You are now at your main control panel for ASPeN with your information in a gray box top center-ish. 
  5. You will scroll down and UPDATE Position
  6. Now click the pencil with the sticky note next to the position you want to update. 
  7. IF YOU WANT TO UPDATE THE PERSON INFORMATION, you will want to click on the person name at the top of this page.
    1. The difference between PERSON and POSITION is important.  Many people don’t quite update it properly.  An example would be a circulation desk librarian.  That POSITION might have an email of MTCircDesk@MySuperCoolLibrary.org.  But if Sally Sue works that POSITION, the PERSON email might be Sally.Sue@LibrariansRock.net.  You might think that isn’t a big deal but when Sally Sue retires and a new PERSON assumes the existing POSITION you don’t want emails going to the wrong address.  I used email as an example but it is all the contact info.  The reason I mention this is I have had people update one and not the other and they wonder why ASPeN isn’t showing the updates.
