Your profile: the learner view

Intended Audience:  Administrators, Managers, Learners 

See your own profile in Safety Made Simple, and the settings you can manage directly: your name, timezone, and preferred portal language. 

Note: To change a unique identifier on a portal - such as the username - users need to contact their admin. 

Access permissions

Admins set up the portal, including settings for what users can view and edit in their profile.

All users can access their own profile. How much information they can view and edit depends on the portal settings.

First login

A learner's very first login depends on how the admin has set up the portal. Steps include:

1. accepting terms
   
2. confirming any editable custom user data, if required
   

My Profile

A learner's profile is always accessible. From the top navigation select the roundel with your initials 

or photo > your name and identifier to access My Profile.

The following screenshot illustrates accessing a user profile.

The information that users can change depends on your portal setup. From My Profile, users can typically:

• edit their first name and last name
• change their password
• set their local time zone, so times and dates for courses appear at their local time 

After any change, select Save to finish.

Note: If required for your organization, the Safety Made Simple Support team can make profile fields read-only. 

Optional profile features

The portal admin can add more features to user profiles, including:

1. user images, to replace their initials. If you allow profile images, learners can select the roundel with their initials, and upload a photo, and include alt-text. 
   
2. selecting your language for portal headings and labels, if available
   
3. reviewing the terms of use for the portal
   
4. choosing how to receive messages: Portal Default, Internal only, or Internal & External.
   

The following screenshot shows an example of the profile page a learner sees. This example includes optional settings on the Settings tab.

Custom user data, aka Profile Details

If you set up custom user data fields in the portal, users can view the data for their account from their Profile Details tab. During setup, you determine the field formats, and if they are editable or not.

After any change to a field, select Save to finish.

The following screenshot shows an example of editable and non-editable fields in Profile Details.
