Own profile

This guide will walk you through your own profile and how to edit it and how to edit your own notifications in Impact.

You can access your profile through your own name at the top right of the site.

    Profile

    In your profile, you will find the following information, which is listed below, and you can edit it as described in the guide. After editing, changes must always be saved using the Update button at the bottom right of the page.

    Username

    This section shows the email address used to create the user in Impact. This email address is used to log in. The username can’t be modified by the user.

     

    Profile photo

    Here you can add or edit your profile picture.

     

    Email

    This section shows the email address to which all Impact notifications will be sent. Users can edit this email address by themself. Changing the email address will send a confirmation message to the old email address, which must be confirmed for the email address to be updated.

    First- and Lastname

    These fields show the first and last name of the user in Impact. Users can edit their first and last name by themselves.

     

    Language

    This field shows the language in which Impact is to the user. The user can change the language themself. Clicking on this field opens a drop-down menu and the user can select the language they want from the list. This change doesn’t change the language of the notification emails, they will be based on the organization’s default language settings.

    Organization

    This field shows the organization which the user is. Clicking this field opens a drop-down list of all organizations to which the user has permissions. By selecting different organizations and updating this field, the user can switch from one organization to another.

     

    Default level

    This field allows the user to specify a default level from the organization tree. This setting can make easier to use Impact if the user often fills tools to the same level. When starting to fill tools in Impact, the default level comes direct to the tool from this field. It is still possible to change the level during the filling of the tool.

     

    Change password

    This button allows the user to change their password.

     

    Two-step authentication

    This button allows the user to activate two-step authentication. Both Microsoft and Google authenticators can be used for two-step authentication. We strongly recommend that at least every account owner and admin user turn this on.

     

    Notifications

    Each user can edit their own notifications from the Notifications tab of their profile if it is enabled in their organization. Below you will find a list of all the Impact notifications that users can edit.
