Slide 1
ProQuest Dialog has a suite of administrative tools. This short module shows how to use the ProQuest Administrator Module to create a My Research Administrator and introduces usage reports.
Slide 2
The account administrator can create and become a My Research Administrator. It is in the My Research Administrator that you can set up permissions and limits for content access. Benefits to creating a My Research Administrator include the ability to track usage by user. Searchers can keep track of, manage and edit their own Alerts and they can set their own preferences and settings, such as language display, number of titles on a page and more. For the My Research Administrator, an Administration link will appear when he or she logs into ProQuest Dialog.

If you are interested in IP authentication or domain access, please contact Customer@dialog.com or your ProQuest Dialog account manager for information on parameters and guidelines. Domain access must be set up by the ProQuest Dialog team in order to protect you from errors at your end-user level. If you already have been enabled for IP authentication, you can manage or make changes to your IP range in this section.
Slide 4
To create a My Research Administrator account, click on the My Research tab. Enter a My Research user name in the Enter a My Research Administrator box and press Add. The name will appear in the list of My Research Administrators that you have already created.
