Create a New Contact

  1. Click the plus () sign by Contacts.

  2. Specify the contact is an Organization.

  3. 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.

Commonly used organization contacts are populated in the 'seed' contact list available on the page.

For more information, consult the section of the mdEditor manual.
