3 User Information

You can manage your user profile and preferences from the Home page. Changes made to user information take effect immediately.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Changing your Password

To change your password, see Changing your Password.

Changing your Email Address

Your user details are maintained in your Brand Compliance user account, other than your password and email address, which are maintained in your IDCS or OCI IAM profile.

Note:

Brand Compliance and IDCS or OCI IAM use different formats for storing names: Brand Compliance has a single name field; IDCS or OCI IAM has three separate fields. Therefore, there is no synchronization of the name fields.

When your IDCS or OCI IAM profile is created, the First Name field is populated with the full name from Brand Compliance; the Middle Name and Last Name fields are set to blank or a dash. You can subsequently change these in IDCS or OCI IAM, without affecting the name in Brand Compliance.

The Login Id cannot be changed; it provides the unique link between the Brand Compliance user account and the IDCS or OCI IAM user profile.

To change your email address using IDCS, see Changing your Email Address using IDCS.

To change your email address using OCI IAM, see Changing your Email Address using OCI IAM.

Note:

The Switch on auto refresh of list views option will only appear if the feature is enabled for the portal. If used, it potentially improves performance by eliminating the constant rebuilding of lists.

If it is enabled, check the option if you wish to have the contents of list automatically refreshed each time you open the list during the session.

If unchecked, the contents of list views will be automatically refreshed when you initially open the list during the session, but if you switch to another page and return to the list, the contents will only refresh if you use the Refresh action (or close and reopen the list view).
