Grants – Each month, Purdue’s Sponsored Programs Service (SPS) data are uploaded into Elements. Faculty need to check these data for accuracy. Faculty may also manually add any other funding.
Learning & teaching – When semester records are completed, Purdue’s course data and course evaluation data are uploaded into Elements.
Scholarly & creative works – Every two weeks, publications are harvested using several publicly available sources. College of Agriculture harvesting sources include CiNii EN, CiNii JP, PubMed, Scopus, SSRN, and Web of Science (Lite). Faculty may “Claim” or “Reject” publications. They may also manually add any other scholarly and creative works.
  • A short video (7 minutes) was developed to guide you through 3 easy steps for annual reporting in Elements.
  • A PDF version of these instructions
Service – At any time, faculty may manually enter service data (e.g., Department, College/School, University, professional, public).

Web Profile

Instructions (including video tutorials) on updating your information and web profile can be found on the COA’s Faculty and Staff Directory – User Guide. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Ag IT support team at agithelp@purdue.edu.

It is expected that faculty will eventually be able to populate their web profile using the Elements system. However, this aspect of Elements is not anticipated to be active in the immediate future.
