You can personalize your profile and preferences through My Profile.
View my profile
You can access your profile from the bottom left corner by clicking on your name, then selecting My Profile. Your profile has three areas:
- Profile contains basic information, such as name, email, and profile photo.
- Preferences contains options for time zone and country.
- Security contains sign in activity and the option to reset your password.
Note: We recommend assigning a unique email address to each profile in Workiva. Chains access, in particular, relies on each profile having a separate email address -- meaning users who share an email address will not be able to access Chain Builder.
Upload a profile picture
From the profile tab, you can add a profile picture. Adding profile picture can help you collaborate with your team, such as using comments and tasks. It’s optional, and images are kept in the in the US or EU.
To add a profile picture:
- Click Upload Image under your initials.
- Select the image you want to upload from your computer. Click Open.
- Review your image and click Save.
Note: Based on your organization's settings, some profile details may be managed by your organization.
