Last Updated: June 7, 2019 11:16:08 AM PDT

The "Assistant" field on the online Campus Directory lets calendar managers and meeting planners know who to contact to set up a meeting or conference call. Follow these steps to add or delete assistant information to the directory.

1. Open the Update Directory Listing form.

If you want to modify your own listing (change your assistant):
- Open MyDirectory. You can also link from the "MyServices" list on the right side of the Blink home page.
- Enter your Single Sign-On user ID and password.
If you want to modify someone else's listing (change their assistant):
- Look up the name in the directory at the top of every Blink page.
- Click the link at the bottom of the information page to request changes to the directory information.
- Enter your Single Sign-On user ID and password.

2. To add an assistant:

Click Change Assistant in the "Assistant" field.
When the Assistant Search page opens, enter the name of the assistant.
Click Search.
From the search results, select the assistant.
The assistant's name, phone number, and location will be transferred to the "Update" form.
Proceed to step 4.

3. To delete an existing assistant:

Click Delete Assistant in the "Assistant" field.
Proceed to step 4.

4. Submit the changes.

Enter the name and phone number of the person approving the change.
Click Submit Changes.

5. Review the information in the online directory.

The assistant information will be reflected in the online directory in 1 or 2 business days. It will not be included in the paper directory.
The listing will display:
- On the faculty or staff person's directory page, the assistant's information will show in a box on the right side.
- On the assistant's directory page, a box titled "Assistant to" will list the names (as links) of the people he or she assists.
