How to Create or Manage your Email Signature

Bringing uniformity to email signature is one of the critical steps towards effective usage of the new brand guidelines of Somaiya Vidyavihar University. As part of that we have designed a uniform email signature for the entire employees of Somaiya Vidyavihar University. As we communicate with all the stakeholders via email, we intend to bring greater solidarity and brand recognition via this email signature.

There are two ways to create email signatures for your Somaiya Email Account.

Automated Email Signature for Faculty & Staff

We have rolled out an auto standard email signature for all faculty and staff.

Email signatures can be visible in the email settings. Changing of information in email settings is not recommended as the system will update to default information twice a week.

In case you need to carry out any changes in your Name, Salutation, designation or landline number - you can directly reach out to the HR team for help.
Whereas, in case of any change in your mobile number - you can update it yourself via accessing the MyAccount Portal > under Profile Info.
For any other changes, you can reach out to the central IT Department of Somaiya Vidyavihar.

Note: Salutation field is visible only in case of Doctors.

After updating in HR Software or Myaccount portal, within 2-3 days it automatically reflects in your email signature. But still they are able to modify the signature before sending, to know more you can refer below instructions of Manual Email Signature.
