Configure user preferences

This topic describes how to configure your own FireFlow user preferences.

Access the Preferences page

To access your user preferences page, do the following:

  1. In the main menu on the left, click PREFERENCES.

    If you are a requestor, FireFlow will take you directly to the Preferences fields.

    If you are a privileged user, you may need to click User Details on the left. For example:

    Note: If the system is configured to import user information from an LDAP server upon each login, FireFlow reminds you that changes to these settings may be overridden then next time you log in.

    In such cases, you must make these changes in the LDAP server instead of FireFlow.

  2. Modify the fields as needed. For details, see User preferences fields.
  3. Click Save Preferences.
