User Profile

The Profile page for a user provides detailed information about the user account. This information can be viewed by all users with access to Flowlink Cipher.

• Preferences, which controls the user’s default settings for creating graphs and datasets. This is tab is only available when a user is viewing their own user account.

Detailed information about each tab, as well as information about editing profile settings, is provided in the links below. Click each link to view the information.

The Profile tab contains a user’s name, mailing address, email address, mobile phone number, notification settings and tenant. The name and email address are populated using the values that were used to create the account. The mailing address and mobile phone number must be entered manually.

User profile settings can only be changed by users with an Administrator role or by a user viewing their own profile.

The notification toggles included in the Profile information are used to turn on/off email and/or text notifications.

• When Email notifications is enabled, a message is displayed stating that a confirmation email has been sent to the email address assigned to the user account. It is necessary to confirm the notification subscription in order to receive email notifications. Once the subscription has been confirmed in the email, the user will receive notifications at the email address in the user profile.

• To enable Text notifications, the Mobile field must be populated with the phone number of a device that is capable of receiving text messages. When enabled, the user will receive text notifications at the phone number specified.

• When Notify when a new site is added notifications is enabled, an email or text message will be sent to the user each time a new site is added to the system. The form of the notification will depend on the other notification toggles.

Note: Mobile phone numbers must be unique for each account, the same phone number cannot be used on multiple accounts.

When viewing a user account while logged in as a system administrator, a status field is displayed in this tab, indicating whether the user account is Active or Inactive.

All user accounts are created as Active, but can be changed to Inactive to disable the account if it is no longer used. By default, only users with a status of Active will be displayed on the Users list page. User accounts with a status of Inactive cannot be used to access Flowlink Cipher. To disable an account, clear the check box beside Active status field.

Also added to the page when logged in as a system administrator is a Change Tenant button, which is used to change the tenant that the user account is assigned to. When logged in without the System Administrator role, this button simply displays the name of the currently assigned tenant. To change the assigned tenant:

The Avatar field can be used to select an image to represent the user profile. If not set, the default user icon is used . When set, the selected image is displayed at the top of each user card on the Users page and replaces the icon used for the Profile button in the toolbar at the top of the page. To select an avatar for the user account:

1. Go to the user profile of the relevant user either by clicking the Profile button or using the Go to Profile tool on a user card on the Users page.

The Profile button on the toolbar will be updated with the new avatar image. When viewing the Users page, the new image will be displayed on the user card for the updated profile.

Role	Description
System Administrator	The System Administrator role is used solely for managing tenants. This role should only be assigned to a single user in each organization. Users with this role cannot be assigned to a tenant.

The Preferences tab is used to define default settings for various pages and functions in the application, such as available sites, display settings, data units, and graph creation. Each section of this tab provides settings for different functions. Each is explained below.

This tab is only available for a user when viewing their own user account because only they can define their user preferences.

The Reset Preferences button at the bottom of the page can be used to return all settings to their default values if needed.

The General section provides display settings for lists of items displayed in a table format.

Option	Description
Show only sites with tags	This setting is used to automatically filter any page or field in the application that displays a list of sites. Clicking in the field displays a list of site tags that have been created in the system and are available to the user. If the user is assigned to a tenant, only tags assigned to sites in that tenant will be available. By selecting tags for this setting, only sites with those tags assigned will be displayed in site lists. When this setting has been defined, a "Tags applied" note is displayed on the relevant pages of the application warning that the site list has been automatically filtered.
Pagination	The default number of rows displayed in a table when viewing a page with a list of items in a table format, such as the Alarms and Reports lists. The options include 10, 25 and 50. This setting can be changed manually on the actual pages as needed.
Date/Time Format	The format used for date and time values in the application. The options include: • Month/Day/Year/Time • Day/Month/Year/Time • Year/Month/Day/Time
Data Handling	This option is used to control how points are handled in various functions if the points have error codes. There are four options: • Use existing value (default): The point retains its current value. • Use zero reading: A zero reading will replace the value of the point value. • Repeat last reading: The point value is updated to use the value of the previous point in the dataset. • Interpolate: A value is interpolated for the point using the last non-zero, non-error values, before and after the error point(s). When a point is processed by a function, if any of the data points have error codes, this setting will automatically be applied to the point values. This setting can be temporarily overridden using the Data Handling options of the currently active screen.
