Account settings¶

Everything that’s just for you. You can find it via your profile picture in the bottom left-hand corner.

General information¶

• Language – the language of the interface, currently German or English. User posts are not translated.
• Your home screen – what you see after logging in: the inbox or your tasks.
• Show full names – whether the full name or the username appears next to posts.

Profile¶

How others in your organisation see you.

• Avatar – you can upload a photo and then select a section of it; avatars are round. JPG, PNG or GIF files up to 5 MB.
• Account colour – the colour of your avatar placeholder (if you haven’t uploaded a photo) and your cursor in the document. This makes it even easier for others to recognise you whilst writing together.
• First name and surname
• Username – shorter than your full name and therefore handy when mentioning you: @ in the composer, then your name.
• Pronouns – will appear next to your name wherever it appears, if you wish.

Status¶

An indication of how available you are at the moment – displayed on your profile card and next to your avatar.

• An emoji and a short message, such as ‘Concept week, I’ll reply in a bit’.
• An expiry date; without one, the status remains until you change it
• Mark as away, even without a message

Contact¶

Telephone number, mobile number, website and birthday. Each field is optional and visible to everyone in your workspace. Only the day and month of your birthday are shown; the year is never displayed.

Appearance¶

• Colour scheme – light, dark or system default.
• Colour palette – three options, each named after a plant that spreads via rhizomes: Ginger (earthy and warm, the original), Iris (the pale blue of the iris) and Reed (green, cooler and a touch deeper). Your choice is applied immediately.

Notifications¶

First, the basic settings – what you actually want to be notified about:

These include four tabs for emails that arrive separately: security notices (for example, regarding new logins), group and organisational updates, product updates and regular reports on upcoming decisions.

It is not your account that determines when emails are sent, but the organisation – see activity hours.

Security and Access¶

• Change password
• Active sessions – every device you’re logged in to, showing the operating system, browser and last activity. The current session is highlighted. You can end individual sessions or all of them at once – including the current one. You’ll then need to log in again.

Leaving the organisation¶

It’s at the bottom of the profile. Anyone who leaves the workspace loses access to their topics.
