FAQs
Can Elements pull data from other databases?
The databases that Elements currently harvests are those provided by the vendor. While it is possible to add additional databases, that would either require the vendor to add the database to Elements or we would need to write code to add it to Vita.
If you have a database you will like Vita to harvest, please email vita@osu.edu so we can track these requests.
Can I assign delegate access for Vita?
Yes. You will need to add your delegates in two locations:
- In Vita for access to Narratives and Supporting Data.
- In Elements for access to manage records related to your Publications, Professional Activities, Teaching Activities and Grants.
How can I get delegate access for multiple people?
If in your role you need delegate access for 5 or more people, email the Vita support team.
In your message please include:
- Your department and role
