5.1 About My Profile

You can use the My Profile page to display the details for your user account and to work with that information, as needed. For example, here’s what Kevin Chester (Marketing Assistant) sees when he goes to the My Profile page:

Figure 5-1 My Profile Detail Page

If you want to change some of these details, you can edit your information (although it’s up to the system administrator to determine exactly what you are authorized to edit). For instance, suppose Kevin Chester clicks Edit Your Information. He sees a page in which he can edit Profile information, after his administrator gives him privileges to do so:

The Edit Detail page

Back on the main (viewing) page, My Profile provides links for performing other useful actions on your information. You can:

  • Send your details (in the form of a link) to someone by e-mail

  • Switch to displaying your organization chart instead of your details

  • If authorized, select another user or group in the organization chart whose details you want to display

  • Click an e-mail address to send a message to that account

  • Specify a locale (language) for the instance of the User Application that you use.
