Overview

Your personal profile information at Berkeley Lab is aggregated from four different systems in which you can edit your information.

System	Profile Information You Can Update
LBL HR Self Service	Role (Public-Facing Job Title), Short “What I do” description, Primary Profile Web Address, Administrative Support Contacts, Vehicles (for parking), Work Location, Mailstop, and Phone Numbers.
UC Path	Preferred Name (Also personal information that is not displayed publicly, such as Home Address, Emergency Contact Information, et. al.)
Google Account	Preferred Pronouns, Additional optional profile data are displayed only within Google Applications (Gmail, LBL Contacts, etc).
UC Publications and Profiles	Bio, Research Interests, Job History, Photo Fields of Study, Publications, Links (if applicable).

Your personal profile information is aggregated from these systems and used in a variety of ways at the Laboratory. For example, your Role is displayed in Google applications when someone hovers over your name.

Institutional information, such as your job title, Area, Division, and Department, is not editable by individuals directly. Please contact your Division HR support for assistance with any necessary changes.

For questions or suggestions email the IT Help Desk ([email protected]).

Detailed Information

LBL HR Self Service

Website: https://hris.lbl.gov

Access Rules: You and your Division’s designated proxies can edit these fields. Consult your division's administrative support to find out who can edit these fields by proxy.

Role (Alternate or Public Facing Job Title)	You can create and edit a role that will appear instead of your job title in some places. Your role must reflect your actual role at the Laboratory. If you don’t specify a role, your job title will automatically be displayed instead. For example, let’s say you are an Administrative Assistant III who supports your Division’s Property and Procurement Efforts - you might name your role “Property and Procurement Support Admin” to help others understand your role at the Lab. Many job titles are generic like Computer Systems Engineer, and defining a more functionally specific role is valuable to colleagues who don’t already know you well.
What I Do	Similar to Role, “What I Do” allows you to write a short (250 char) description of your work at the Lab. This description must be directly related to your job and communicate your work to others. You might choose to describe programs, projects you work on, or your area of research. This will appear in Google contacts as well as in public profiles when a short description is needed.
Primary Profile	Provide a link to your preferred profile page if you have one. This link will display in Google Contacts and will be used on websites when a profile link is needed. For example, if your profile exists on your Division website, paste the link here and other people will be able to get from your profile or contact information to your rich profile.
Locations	You can add and edit the locations where you work at the Lab.
Phones	You can configure one or more phone numbers.
Vehicles	If you park at the Lab, you must register your vehicle license plate numbers so that the Security department can identify the owner of a vehicle in an emergency.
Assistants	You can add and edit your support staff.

UCPath

Website: https://ucpath.universityofcalifornia.edu/
Access Rules: You’re the only person who can edit these fields.

Name	Formerly labeled “Preferred Name” in UCPath online, and referred to as “Lived Name” in most recent communications, but now called simply “Name” in UCPath online. Your “Name” takes the place of your legal name in virtually all publicly visible places at LBL (and UC) once you update it in UCPath, in compliance with the UC Lived Names Policy.
Legal Name	When you have a Lived Name established, your legal name is in effect completely private and not part of your public profile. If you need to change your legal name, this is also done in UCPath.
Emergency Contacts	The Lab will use this information to contact your named emergency contacts in the event of an emergency. This information is not generally available to anyone outside of emergency circumstances.
Home Address	This should be your official home address of record relative to your employment with UC.

Google Account

Website: https://myaccount.google.com/personal-info
Website: https://myaccount.google.com/profile
Access Rules: Only you can edit these fields.

Preferred Pronouns	You may optionally specify your preferred pronouns in your Google Account. This information will show up in Google Applications, but we plan to use this information in other systems in the future.
Other Profile Information	Any other fields you change in your Google Profile will only show up within Google Applications (including in our soon-to-be-launched internal phonebook which leverages Google Contacts).
