Modifying user settings

In SCP, you can set the user information, language and display preferences in worksheet and plansheets. You can also set a worksheet, plansheet, or production scheduling view as your home page. This enables you to navigate to the selected homepage when you login to the application.

Note: The information on the User Details, and Language tabs can be modified only when you login as an internally managed user (on-premises or single-tenant). The fields are disabled when you login as an externally managed user (multi-tenant).

To modify the settings for the current user:

  1. Select Settings on the main toolbar.
    Note: You cannot modify the User Name.
  2. Modify this information as required on the User Details tab:
    Display name
    The user's display name. If no value is specified in this field, the User Name is used as the Display name.
    E-mail Address
    The e-mail address of the user which is used to receive direct notifications from SCP. If the e-mail address is not specified, the user does not receive notifications.
