5.3 My Settings

Within Velos eResearch, users have the option to specify the automatic logout time for their account, and to define their preferred landing page. The Automatic Logout Time feature protects the privacy and security of the user’s account by logging them out automatically after a period of inactivity.
 
 Note:   Users can change their automatic logout time if the System Administrator has not set a specific time and prevents the end user from changing.
In addition, each user has the option to define the default landing page for their functional role. For example, a finance user may prefer to have the Budgets page as their default landing page instead of My Homepage.
 
 Note:   Settings changed on the My Settings page affect only your account. To learn more about changing the default settings for all users within the account, see the My Settings section.
 
To access the Settings page:
1.    Click on the Personalize menu and select Settings.
 
The My Settings page displays:
2.    Change the automatic logout time for your account by replacing the value (in minutes) in the Automatic Logout Time field.
-OR-
If you would like to only, or also, change the default landing page for your account, select the appropriate option from the Default Homepage dropdown menu. For more information on the My Gadgets homepage, see the Customize the “My Gadgets” Homepage section.
3.    After making the desired changes, enter your e-Signature and click the Submit button.
The account setting changes have been saved.
 
 Note:   For any account setting changes to take effect, you must first log out and log back into Velos eResearch.
