Editing your business card

In case your title is missing, please note that you cannot enter a title on your own (see below). In case your telephone number is missing and you are not able to enter it please contact the person in charge of the phone administration at your organisation unit.

Some of the data on your business card are based on your master data/log-in data, other data may be edited by you. All business card entries appear publicly. Use the 'Edit' link in the top right corner of the screen to change your data. You will find more information about each type of entry in the following.

Homepage	Enter your personal webpage address here. This entry is automatically transformed into a hyperlink.
Additional information	For any type of personal description, for staff members e.g. the field of activity.
Title (acad. title, business title, other titles)	Attention: you may not enter a title on your own. In case there is a mistake in your title or it is missing please contact the registration office if you are a student, or the personnel department or personnel officer of your organisation unit if you are a staff member.
Mobile phone number to receive SMS	Short notice changes of course dates and times (cancellation or rescheduling, on the same or following day) are sent to all participants not only by email but also by text message. If you would like to receive such SMS notifications please enter your mobile phone number here.

Only for students

Homepage	In case you are using the web space offered by the MDW your web site will automatically appear here.
Telephone	May be used to indicate your personal telephone number(s).
Email	Your university email address is automatically taken over.

Only for staff members

Telephone	If the person in charge of administrating telephone numbers in your organisation unit is responsible for assigning extensions (see "Roles"), you do not have to enter your extension here as it will appear automatically. In case you can edit this entry yourself please enter only your own extension.
Email	Only use this field if you would like a different (private) email address to appear in your business card instead of your MDW email address (see below). If you enter an address in this field, it will replace the MDW email address, and will consequently be used for all mail distributions to staff members.
Mailing address	Data for internal mail distribution or external information. A selection can only be made in case your institution has several postal addresses or if you are a staff member of several organisation units. (Please note that the contact address of the corresponding organisation must be entered.)
Place of employment	There is no default entry here, but it is useful to indicate your workplace address. Attention: - You can only indicate your place of employment if you have a contractual relationship with MD Vienna. - There must be an address entered for your organisation, otherwise the detail window does not open. - Always select the address from the MD Vienna address list. You can then also choose a specific room at the selected address from the list. Please, use 'other address' only if you have checked and are sure that your place of employment is not listed among the MD Vienna addresses.
Preferred organisation	This entry does not appear on your business card, but simply allows you to navigate more easily to your preferred institution by using the icon "home" in the menu bar (top right corner) or on the business card.

Information on your account

User name
The user name you have chosen when registering your account cannot be changed later.

Email address (staff members)
After having registered your account at MDW, choose an email address (under 'Account status'/ 'Edit services') to receive an email account on the central staff mail server of the MDW. This address cannot be changed later.

Validity of password and account
When registering your account you have selected a password. This password will need to be changed at regular intervals (this can be done by following the link 'Change password' in your business card). The 'Account status' window allows you to see how long your password is still valid.

Your account remains active, as long as you fulfil all required conditions. Generally, you are informed by e-mail before your account expires.

View and edit account data
Under 'Account status' you can call up detailed information pertaining to your mdwOnline account, as for example how long your password is still valid and what type of services have been activated.

Services
Under certain circumstances further services may have been made available to you on mdwOnline, such as an email or a web space for your personal homepage. If there are such additional services and you have decided to use them when registering your account you can retrieve the according data and information under 'Account status'.

Accept emails from spam blacklisted servers
This option allows you to decide if emails from servers that are blacklisted for spam should be blocked or allowed. For setting this option, open the 'Edit services' link under the application 'Account status'. (By default, the spam filter is activated).
