Getting Started

When I first created an account, I was able to add a school. Now, however, I cannot seem to create a single relationship. I need guidance. I put in the information that is correct, but I keep getting "Relation not created" as an error message. Am I supposed to put in specific information for Endpoint 2? Is that the trick? I am confused. Further, I do not appear to show up when I do a search for my name, either. Any suggestions?

Figured it out!

Tonya's got it figured out, but for anyone else with the same question: yes, the little endpoint 2 line is essential for connecting to other people and schools. It's there that you can start writing the name of the target for your relation -- the object of the verb that you select from the pull-down menu. (Endpoint 1 is the page you're viewing, either person or institution.) If the target person or school is in the system already, Endpoint 2 will autocomplete after you've typed in three letters. If not (and no other possible name works, either), that's when you "Add content" ... ideally in another window or tab.

When it's working correctly, you should be able to read down the sidebar as a sentence: e.g. Tonya Ritola (endpoint 1) was mentored by (that's the relation type) Stephen Yarbrough (endpoint 2). The rest fills in the details.
