Creating a Report for NIH Biographical Sketch

Last modified 6/12/2024

Watermark Faculty Success (formerly known as Digital Measures Activity Insight) is a tool used as a teaching, research, and service report generator. This tool also feeds faculty information to department websites and About.IllinoisState.edu sites.

This article discusses the process of creating a final form report once you have completed a NIH Biographical Sketch form within Watermark Faculty Success.

Create the Report

Once you have completed the NIH Biographical Sketch form, you can have Watermark Faculty Success create the final form for you. To do so:

  1. Click Run Reports from the left sidebar.
  2. Select NIH Biographical Sketch from the first drop-down menu.
  3. Enter the desired Start Date and End Date. Only data within this range will be included in the report.
  4. Use the third menu to select the NIH form for which you want to create the report.
  5. Use the fourth menu to select the File Format to which you want to export the report.
    • Choosing Microsoft Word will allow you to make changes to the exported document (changes won’t affect the Digital Measures system data).
  6. Choose the Page Size for the custom report from either Letter or A4 in the fifth menu.
  7. Finally, click Run Report at the top of your screen. Once clicked, a file will automatically be downloaded to your computer. To save the document, you must open the report and save the file to the desired storage location.

You have now created a final form report.
