The Login and the displayed name can only be modified by project administrators, all other data can also be modified by users. All entries are optional except for login, displayed name and e-mail. The entries for first name, surname and salutation at the top of the page will be displayed across all projects.

Global data / Project data 

If an account is registered to more than one project, the project-specific data can be used to provide alternate entires to the global data (e.g. e-mail recipient, displayed name) for the different projects:

The entries made under global data will be displayed in all the projects the user has access to if the project-specific data is not active.

The selection which profile is used is made by the project administrator when creating the account. The profile can be changed by setting the bullet-point either for the global data or the project specific data.

Notifications / Info interval 

In order to receive system notifications select "E-Mail" next to "Notification" for the active data (Global or Project data). 

To deactivate notification select "None".

All notifications are sent to the e-mail address listed next to "E-Mail".
Multiple e-mail recipients can be added with a semicolon, no space between each address.

The “Info Interval” then determines how often a user receives notifications.

The standard configuration of the interval is 5 minutes but can be changed to any interval from the menu. With this setting one e-mail containing information for all activities for the selected timeframe will be sent. 

If the "Info-Interval" is set to “at once”, the user will be informed of all activities regarding each type of notification with a separate e-mail for each activity.

If the interval is set to “at once” the checkbox next to the type of notification (Message / Task / Document) next to "Notify immediately on new" must also be selected and users will only receive notification for their selection.
