In BSCW you have a personal profile that contains useful information about yourself such as full name, organization, address, phone numbers, photo, references to additional information on the web, e.g. to a personal homepage and your organization's website, as well as your contact information in social networks and instant messaging services that make it easier for other users to get in touch with you.
To enter or change information in your personal info page,
• select the entry in the main menu .
The 'Change personal profile' form, where you enter or change information for your personal profile, consists of different sections, each containing a group of information for your personal profile:
Your personal data includes email address, full name, organization, address, business and private phone numbers, fax numbers and web pages. All these personal data are displayed on your personal info page and are thus accessible to all users of your BSCW system. Full name and organization from your personal profile are also used in entries about you in address books and member pages. Such an entry is written e.g. as follows
schmuecke (Erika Schmücke, Regex AG)
if full name and organization have been specified. However, if the full name is missing, the user will be displayed as follows:
schmuecke <e.schmuecke@regex-ag.de>
You can add tags and a description to your personal data, which will also appear in the description of your user entry on member pages.
The 'Primary email address' field is set to the email address to which BSCW sends your messages (e.g. the regular email reports about activities in your workspaces). By default this is the Email address you have registered with. If your email address has changed or if you want to use additional email addresses, please enter the new or the additional addresses under 'Add additional email addresses'. For each of these additional email addresses you will have to go through a process similar to your first registration.
If you have registered multiple email addresses, you can specify a new primary email address by selecting it in the corresponding field. Note that depending on the server configuration, not every user can enter additional addresses and the range for allowed addresses may be limited to certain email domains.
Here you can enter contact information that will allow other users to contact you on social networks. To add a social network in your personal profile,
• select an entry from the list offered and click on [+ Add].
• Enter the URL where you can be reached on the network in question. Expand the description of the social network, if necessary.
• To remove a social network from your personal profile, click on in the corresponding line.
The information provided here will be listed under 'Contact Information' on your User Info page and will be used for other users to contact you.
In this tab your picture will be displayed, for example, on your user info page, in chat or tasks. If there is no picture of you yet, you can add a picture of yourself to your personal profile.
• Select 'Upload image from external website' and enter a URL in the 'Image URL' field that points to such an image on the web,
or
• select 'Upload image from my computer'. Use the [Browse...] button in the 'Local File' field to select an image on your local computer. The uploaded image file will be saved in the system and the access rights will be set to allow all users to view the image.
In the same way, you can replace an existing image of you.
