My Settings

Introduction 

The "My Settings" section is where each user can configure their personal Betterworks account:

Here, you can:

  • Add your phone number
  • Add a blurb
  • Add a profile picture
  • Update your password
    • Note: If your organization is using Single Sign-On (SSO), you will not be able to update your password through Betterworks. Instead, you'll likely need to loop in a member of your organization's IT Team.
  • Change your starting page
  • Change the timezone
  • Change the language 
  • Access the Preview environment
  • Set notifications

Notifications

One of the most important features here is the notifications. You can decide which notifications you'd like to receive via email. If you administrator has enabled Slack and/or Microsoft Teams, you'll have the option to select push notifications to those applications as well.

Note: If your administrator has made certain notifications mandatory, the checkboxes will be grayed out.
