Modify contact details
Contact details are not specific to your personal page, but are taken from the official EPFL directory based on information provided by your various accreditors.
This is why any changes to this information are forwarded to the relevant accreditor and submitted for approval.
This process ensures consistency between the various databases.
Display your positions (or accréditations)
It is highly likely that a person will be affiliated with several units (labs, etc.) at EPFL.
By default, all your accreditations are displayed on your profile. By editing your page, you can:
- Hide certain positions (but at least one must remain publicly visible)
Change the order of positions
Modify a position (this request requires validation by your accreditor)
A person’s postal address is linked to their phone number and is managed on the Atela app.
If no address is available (the person does not have a phone), then the postal address of the department (or lab) is displayed by default (main accreditation).
- To hide office, postal address, and associated phone number, click on the on/off button
- To change a postal address and associated phone number, click on , which will redirect you to Atela.
Phone numbers are linked to the different units (laboratories) you belong to. They can be modified or hidden in the atela.epfl.ch application (and not on your People page).
- You can also add your own phone number to your page: it will then appear below your name.
- This personal number is not used in other EPFL systems.
- You can decide whether this number is visible to the public on the web, internal to EPFL, or hidden.
You can also set up internal EPFL number forwarding to your mobile phone. You can choose the times and days when your mobile will ring at the same time as your landline. This avoids revealing your mobile number to the whole world and, above all, allows you to easily juggle between the two devices, especially during vacations.
