Written By Margaret Tilton (Administrator)

In order for someone to show as a Visiting Fellow on the website, they must be designated as a VF in PMT. This is because their paid appointment may not make it obvious that they are a Visiting Fellow.

To designate someone as a a Visiting Fellow, follow the steps below:

  • Log on to InsideCIRES
  • Click on Open PMT > Employee Detail. Select the person you want from the dropdown in the upper right. 
  • In the section “CIRES Appointments and Appointment Requests,” click on Create New Appointment.
  • Select the type of Visiting Fellow Appointment from the dropdown. See screenshot below.
  • Fill in the other required fields and click Submit.

You should now see a green Visiting Fellow badge under the person's roles. The public-facing website cires.colorado.edu will now recognize and display this person as a Visiting Fellow. Note that it may take an hour or two for the data to display.
