- All myProject users
When you access myProject for the first time, you will be prompted to set up your account, specify your preferences, and accept the Obligations for Participation in IEEE Standards Development. This information is used by the system to notify you of events and tasks (as well as to automatically add your information to some fields), and is maintained separately from your IEEE Account information. You may also be asked to repeat this process if you have not updated your profile in over a year.
Note: In order to access the menu function, the following steps must be completed. Please make sure you are confirming your profile information by clicking "Save" on both the "Personal & Professional Info" and "Preferences" tabs. After doing this, the menu should appear. You will only need to complete this confirmation step once a year.
A video demonstration of the initial login process is available here: https://ieeetv.ieee.org/ieee-products/ieee-sa-user-guide-setting-preferences-and-logging-interest
