Editing and Updating Your Profile
Introduction
On the old website, whenever something needed updating, you usually had to contact the Webmaster for help. Now, we’re put the power in your hands!
Note: it’s important to note that some of these options only apply to the coroner and medical examiner profiles. For example, chief deputies don’t show up in the “Coroner/Medical Examiner” directory. Whenever one of these tips doesn’t apply, we will do our best to make that known.
Accessing, Editing, and Saving Changes
To edit your profile, you must (logically) be logged in.
Once you are logged in, take the following steps:
Warnings
We do have some warnings, however!
Thankfully, most of these items are either do not appear or are not fields that most users can change. For clarity’s sake, though, they are described below (along with an explantion on why they’re not meant to be edited.)
- Coroners should not change their public email addresses.
- When your account was created, you were given an @pacoroners.org email address and it was set as your public email address. The reason is threefold: one, for professional appearances; two, to minimize spam to your personal email address; and three, to allow us to route mail appropriately in the future.
- Association Role should not be changed.
- This setting is to be set by the Webmaster only, and in most cases your role would be “Member.” If you hold office in the future, this will be updated by the association.
- Association Position Sort Control, if it appears for you, should not be changed.
- This controls other functionality on the site, like the Executive Leadership lookup page.
- Association Title should not be changed.
- This is meant for professional staff members of the association who are not elected board members, such as the executive director, solicitor/legislative liason, webmaster, etc. It should be left blank otherwise.
