Overview

Profile is where the personal details of each individual registered on the site are added and updated. These relate to a summary of, for example, the individual’s name, skills and interests, their personal information, employment details and their security access details.

Profile is accessed through Profile > Profile:

Some of the details in your Profile are added automatically when you are set up on the site. Others need to be added by you or the system administrator.

The details in Profile are used in the site for a number of important purposes and should therefore be kept up-to-date:

• To enable relevant learning to be assigned to you
• To allow you to receive system notifications, for example booking confirmations, joining instructions and booking reminders
• To enable you to use the social media areas of the site (if you have access to these), including sending a message or chatting to your connections

Your profile will appear in a Quick Search and is therefore available to other site users.
