Your FindAPhD dashboard is where you can upload listings to our FindAPhD website and gauge the performance of your institution on our site. There's quite a lot of information to take in and features available, so this article will help guide you through how to navigate the following areas:
The homepage / main menu
Upon logging in, the main menu of the dashboard contains key information relating to your account on FindAPhD. This includes a list of the departments that you can access along with the listings you currently have, the name and email address of your Account Manager and an indication of any credits you have remaining.
The left sidebar shows the different menus available. Various different drop downs will be available depending on the level of access you have. Find out more about the different account types here.
You can edit your personal information by clicking the person icon on the top right of the page. Find out more about how to do this in our helpful article here.
Projects menu
Here you can see all the Project Listings under each department that you have access to. You can filter to find a listing by department, research group or status (live, archived etc.) You can also search for a project using the project title or assigned supervisor.
If you have any Research Programme Pages listed, these will also display in the same way as Project Listings and can be found under the 'Programmes' tab as shown below:
PhD Connect menu
Our free FindAPhD CONNECT software integrates your PhD listings into your university website so you only ever need to maintain & update one set of data. You can even use it to add your PhD’s to a Facebook page!
FindAPhD CONNECT can be included anywhere on your website. Use it to show PhD opportunities for the university, a faculty, or a single department. You can also use it to bring specific projects into staff profile pages.
You can find out more information about PhD Connect and how to set it up in our helpful article here.
The Analytics menu
The Analytics menu provides an insight into how your listings are performing. All accounts have access to the number of page views, external referrals and enquiries for their listings. If you have an Institution Profile listed with us or any additional on site advertising, you will be able to view the statistics here too.
