Share My Info lets you create different groupings of information, called reports. Create a report, choose the information you want in the report, decide who can see the report and when the report access expires.

Create a report

  1. Name your report and enter an expiration date. You can change the expiration date (extend or expire) at any point in the future.
    There are three suggested templates based on what students typically share with different groups. When you select a template you will notice that specific items will be selected to share. You can use the template as-is or you can customize the selections (dropping or adding items) as you prefer. You can also choose not to use a template and select the information you would like to include in the report.

Specify who will see your report

Reports can be shared with one or more people or organizations. The person or people chosen are your recipients. By default, Share My Info sends an email to each email address you provide with a link to view your report. You have the option to include additional text in the email or to not send an email to your recipients.

Note

Known Issue/Resolution

  1. Enter the email address of the recipient you are sharing your information with.

  2. Enter any additional text.

  3. Click the Save button. An email will be sent to the recipient unless you've chosen not to send one.
