About PINFOX and the NDM Dashboard

PINFOX stores details of staff members' DPhil themes and collaborations.

These can be edited via your NDM website profile or via the Pinfox system directly.

Themes and collaborations are then shown on the websites.

Accessing the system

If you have a profile on an NDM (Haiku) website then you can access Pinox via the orange NDM Dashboard button your primary website profile. This is the profile which are you are able to login and edit, not one which is automatically updated from your primary profile.

Alternatively, PINFOX can be accessed directly at https://tools.ndm.ox.ac.uk/pinfox. This is mainly to allow those without an NDM website profile and/or an Oxford SSO username to be able to access the system

Login using your Oxford single-sign-on authentication details or if you have been provided with a username and password with the Pinfox system you can use the Local Authentication option.

If you don't currently have access to the system you can request access by clicking the "Request Access" screen and giving details of your requirements.

Viewing your profile details

From within your primary website profile click on the orange NDM Dashboard button or if accessing the Pinfox directly, click your SSO username in the top right corner.

Editing your collaborators

From your profile details page expand the Collaborations section

Click Edit Collaborators

Change the order of existing collaborators by dragging them using the icons to the left of the rows

To add a collaborator:

• Type all, or the start, of the surname of the person you wish to add as a collaborator and wait for a few seconds to check if anything comes up
• If this person is already in PINFOX, they will appear as a dropdown list, you can select them and they will automatically be added
• If the collaborator is not in PINFOX (i.e. doesn't show in the drop down list), press ‘Enter' and fill in details for this collaborator.
• When saving, you will need to confirm the location, either by selecting an option from the list offered by GoogleMaps, or by adding in a valid postal address; post codes (zip codes) are less precise but will give a point on the map; in last resort add in the city's name.

Editing your DPhil themes

From your profile details page expand the DPhil themes section

Your existing existing themes are listed and you can click on these to view and edit their details

To add a new DPhil theme:

• Click "Add DPhil theme"
• Enter the required details and click Save
• Once the project information has been completed, click 'Save' to accept the changes
• You can now view and edit the other sections of the DPhil project

Note: new DPhil themes will not be visible on live websites until they have been reviewed by the Graduate Studies Team. You can trigger an email to the Graduate Studies Team to say you consider a theme to be ready to publish by clicking the "DPhil Theme Ready To Publish" button

If you experience any difficulties using the system or would like to make any suggestions about its development please email systems@ndm.ox.ac.uk
