Rebuilding the Portal for Enhanced User Experience
The myJH portal is a centralized access point to hundreds of Johns Hopkins web applications and key information about the Johns Hopkins community. TAG teams rebuilt and updated the myJH portal with several new features to improve user experience. Enhancements include the new single search bar, the ability to switch between search types, “favorite” most used apps, and choose preferred pronouns and preferred names.
Previously, users faced multiple steps to find the apps they needed, connect with colleagues, explore relevant topics, and navigate Johns Hopkins departments. Accessing frequently used apps wasn’t seamless, and discovering news and events could be cumbersome. Additionally, affiliates who wanted to designate preferred pronouns or display a different name were limited to the system’s default settings.
The updated myJH portal offers a more intuitive experience with a convenient tiled layout. Users can “favorite” their most-used apps for easy access, and the search function remembers their last-used search type for efficiency. News and events are prominently displayed on the home page, and the myJH Profile includes options to select preferred pronouns and a preferred name.
