Personalizing Your User Profile

This topic discusses features that allow you to personalize your user profile. In addition to the basic demographic data, you can customize the profile so that the application functions the way you like. Let's look beyond the basic demographic information in the General area and focus on Workspace Search, Time Zone, External Calendar URL, and Out of Office fields.

To personalize your user profile:

1. Go to username > My Profile.

The User Details form opens.

The following graphic illustrates the User Details form for an Internal user.


The following graphic illustrates the user details for an External user.


2. Complete the form.

Note:  Some of these fields/modules may not be available for external users.

Action Center:

 

 

 

Modules

You can add modules to your modules bar to provide enhanced functionality and navigation.

You can also manage the order of modules that display in the modules bar. See User modules.

 

Workspace Search

If your Home page contains the Workspace widget, you can set the default to Favorites or Recent Workspaces.

User Settings:

 

 

 

Enable Email for this account

Default is enabled. Enables email notifications to external email, such as Gmail or Outlook.

Note: Keep in mind that if you disable this option and your email is used on a ClientSpace email template as an ad-hoc email recipient, you will not receive the email.

 

Load Home Page by Default Default is enabled (selected).

 

Adjust for DLS Automatically adjusts your calendar events to take daylight savings (DLS) time into account when setting the event time.

 

Time Zone Select a time zone. Default is Eastern Standard Time.

 

External Calendar URL

Can be set to use the ICS file location for an external calendar such as Exchange and Gmail. External calendar events display as green and are not editable. This feature allows you to combine your external calendar with your internal system calendar.

After you enter an external calendar URL in this field, you can click the Sync button (located on the right side of the External Calendar URL field) to send a request to connect to the external calendar and validate your settings.

See Adding external calendar events for more information about selecting a calendar.

Out of Office:

 

 

 

Enable Out of Office

When you enable this option, you can:

  • Assign a Back Up User to receive your notifications for items such as cases and tasks while you are away.
  • Establish a Start Date and End Date for your out of office period.
  • Reassign your cases and tasks to the Back Up User while you are away.

     

    Note: Case and task reassignment requires your Global Admin to enable the Reassign During Out Of Office feature. This feature is an optional enhancement to the Enable Out of Office feature which can be set in the PEO Configuration. When enabled, in addition to the Back Up User receiving notifications of new cases and tasks, new cases are reassigned to them while you are away. If the assigned OOO backup user is also marked "out of office" or is expired, inactive, or lacks appropriate case type access, ClientSpace then evaluates Case Type default backup assignment settings to determine an appropriate reassignment path.

See Enabling Out of Office option.

Administrator Settings:

Note:  Only Global Admin users can maintain the Administrator Settings.

 

 

 

Global Admin

Select to establish the user with admin rights to ClientSpace.

 

Password Never Expires

Select this option to indicate that your Global Admin user password never expires. If you select this option, the system disregards the Password Reset password settings. If you do not select this option, the system uses the value in the Password Reset password settings to determine when your user password expires. See Configuring your ClientSpace authentication settings.

 

Change Password Next Login

Select this option to require the user to change their password on the next login.

 

Can Create Workspaces

Select this option to allow the user to create workspaces.
