Security Note
What you can see and do in this application depends on the security permissions associated with your 25Live user account. If you can't access something you think you should be able to, contact your 25Live Administrator.
Use the More menu in the top navigation bar to access User Settings option.
Security Note: Contact information can only be changed by users with sufficient permissions.
A security group must have:
Basic: 20.0 Change Password to alter their own password
Admin: 12.0 Create, Edit, Copy Contacts to edit contact details
Basic: 7.0 View Contacts to view information on the "Edit Contact Info" tab
Users without these settings can still edit their own date and time preferences and set dark mode.
Editing Your Contact Info
The Edit Contact Info section shows a display of contact fields.
- Complete or change any fields you like. The only required fields are last name and work email address. Fields include:
- Basic Information: Name, prefix or suffix, title, and internal ID (for your institution's use only)
- Work Address
- Home Address (your institution determines if these fields are used)
- Email (including both work and home email addresses, an optional email signature, and an option to copy yourself on emails sent from within 25Live)
- Email Signature
- Use the Save button to continue.
Tip: The Email Signature Field Allows Formatted Text
Use the edit icon () to enter an editing mode when adding your Email Signature, and use the rich text formatting controls to add color, bold, italics, and other options that are compatible within emails.
Changing Your Password
- Tap the Change Password tab
- Enter your desired password in the New Password field
- Note: Passwords may contain only letters, numbers, and underscore characters.
- Confirm your password in the Confirm New Password field
- Select Change Password to save your changes
For directions on updating another user's password, please see Editing a Password in Group Administration.
Enable Dark Mode
Some users prefer the darker theme to reduce eye strain, use the application in darker environments, save battery power on some devices, or to improve accessibility for users with low vision or light sensitivities.
- To switch to a darker theme, toggle the setting for Dark Mode to Yes.
- Save your changes.
Adjusting Your Date/Time Preferences
Update your user date and time preference in the Display tab of the User Settings.
1. Make Selections for Date and Time Display & Calendar Start Day
Complete the Date and Time Display fields to update your current date/time preferences. A helpful date and time example is displayed above the fields that change to reflect your selections, which includes:
- Date Order
- Time Display
- Calendar Start Day - Week start day: This option changes the weekday you want to be displayed first in your calendar views.
- Note: This preference does not affect the start day in reports that display calendars.
Note: Your Date and Time Preferences Are Used in Emails
Your chosen date and time preferences will also be used for the date format in emails sent within the application by your 25Live contact.
2. Adjust Your Time Zone
These Settings Are Only For Your User
Changing your time zone affects only your personal environment for viewing and specifying event times. Your updated preferences won't take effect until you reload your browser.
To set your timezone preference, make a selection from the dropdown menu.
3. Set Your Availability View Display Hours
Update the Availability View Display Hours fields to choose default open and close hours for availability views (such as in Location details and Resource details views). For example, settings of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm specify that grids will show activity from 9:00 AM through 4:59 PM.
4. Confirm and Optionally Reload the Application
Use the Save button to save your selections. You may need to reload the application to see changes.
