To edit your personal profile, select the My Profile link in the navigation bar. This brings up a form that lets you edit the values of your profile properties.

Notice that the profile has a property called the “Aggressive Index.” This property tracks your investment style by taking note of the funds you view. For example, if you look at the Quincy Venture fund, your Aggressiveness index will increase by two. Test this by clicking QUIVF in the My Holdings section on your home page. This is an example of an implicit property, because the property’s value is inferred through your actions rather than your explicit input. Inspect your profile to see your changed Aggressive Index.

When you look at a fund and request a prospectus, the site pulls your address from the profile information you entered while registering. The demo application won’t actually send e-mail to confirm the shipment of a prospectus.

Another form that affects the home page is your preferences. Select the My Preferences link from the navigation bar. This lets you change the feature and news topics that you want to see, and also adjust the number of articles that you want displayed on your home page. In this demo application, the repositories contain few news articles, so setting these numbers high will have no effect. There are only three feature articles in the demo repository for each investment style.

The “My Preferences” page also lets you select a preferred language. If you change your language preference, only certain items will appear in your chosen language. Once finished, log out.
