Organization Contacts
Create a New Contact
- Click the plus (
) sign by Contacts. - Specify the contact is an Organization.
- The Contact ID will be auto-generated by mdEditor.
The following fields are available for Organization Contacts:
- Organization Name (Required): The organization's full name; avoid acronyms (however, abbreviating United States as U.S. is acceptable. Example: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service).
- Contact Type (Required): Enter the contact type from the picklist. Make sure every contact has Contact Type selected - this is essential for the Science Catalog funding summaries.
- Email Address (Required): Add an email address of the primary contact in the organization.
- Online Resource (Required): Add a web URL where the organization resides. Online resource may also include social networks.
- Physical Address (Best Practice): Enter a physical address
- Logo (Optional):
- You can either select or drop an image. If you choose to load an image, mdEditor will create a URI and will have a size limit for the logo. If you have a larger image, link to it rather than loading it into mdEditor.
- If an organization has a logo associated with it, individuals will inherit the logos from the organization.
If you upload a logo to your contact record, you must include a filename for the logo. Otherwise, an error will occur n the metadata records that include that contact.
