Normally the Request Master Profile workflow will create the page for you, including the redirect, but you will still need to add any tags.  

For those who have authorization to adjust a Master Profile page, here are some more details.

• Set the redirect in Page Properties.
• Set the tags in Page Properties,

For the tags, we will draw on existing tags in these collections. The tags marked with an asterisk (*) are currently in use:  

• Audience
  • Employees
    • Faculty *
      
      • Clinical Faculty *
        
      • Emeriti *
        
      • Librarian *
        
      • Research Faculty *
        
      • Teaching Faculty *
        
      • Tenure-Track Faculty *
• Website
  • e.g. School of Engineering and Applied Sciences *
    
    • Biomedical Engineering *
      
    • Chemical and Biological Engineering *
      
    • etc.

We welcome additional tag suggestions, but please be advised that some combinations are not possible. For example, several units have asked about tags for Affiliated or Adjunct status. If they have a variety of roles at UB, while they may be 'affiliated' with your department, their primary role at UB is most likely something else, such as Tenure-Track Faculty, and we have no way of connecting your departmental tag with their role just in your department. Without this ability, a faculty member would thus be listed as 'affiliated' AND 'tenure-track' in your department AND also 'affiliated' AND 'tenure-track' with their primary department.
