BMS Profile | Updating My Settings

Introduction

My Settings is a small section in your profile that contains certain options that are provided under your user account (profile) to customize your PSA instance. You can see this section as soon as you log in. Follow this guide to explore the different options provided under My Settings of your user account when you are logged into your PSA.

You can change these settings anytime. However, your user account settings can affect what you see and do in your PSA instance. Your name and photo are used to associate actions found throughout the application.

Editing Your Profile
