Setting preferences

Edit online

Your user profile settings contain your contact information and preferences that you can set for working with Workplace and receiving notifications.

You can change the following settings in your user preferences:
  • Contact information, including an avatar.
  • Workplace preferences, including settings for the application language, application locale, calendar type, default start page, confirmation when you claim a task, opening items in a new window, and receiving notifications by email.
    • Application language is the language in which you choose to work in Workplace. The default setting is English. To set the default locale, see Setting preferences in Process Portal.
    • Application locale extends the language support to a specific country or region variant, which also influences the way dates and currency formats are displayed in the user interface. Typically, the locale identifier consists of a language code and a country or region code. For example, in addition to setting the language to Spanish (es), you can set the locale to es-mx for Mexican Spanish, which changes the date and currency formats in the user interface to be specific to the Mexican locale.
    • Default start page allows you to set a saved view as the page that opens when you log in to Workplace. You can select from your saved views to set as the default start page.
  • Notification preferences. You can receive notifications in Workplace when an action occurs that affects you and your work. For example, you can receive notifications in Workplace when a new task is assigned to you or your user group. Alternatively, you can choose to receive email notifications.
