Handling WebAsyst personal and system settings
Published April 10, 2007
WebAsyst allows you to set and modify a number of personal and system preferences. These settings affect system appearance, formats, and properties.
Personal settings
If given an access, a user can specify and modify personal settings. They become effective immediately and apply only to the user who specified them. The following settings are available by clicking My WebAsyst from the main menu:
- Change password – enter and confirm your new password to login WebAsyst.
- Look & Feel – preview and select a theme and menu layout of user interface.
- Preferences – change your name and email notifications properties, select language of WebAsyst interface, and indicate start page selected from the drop-down list to be displayed when opening your account (Tips & Tricks by default). You can also indicate an email to be used as “sender” when emailing from WebAsyst. User ID is used to login a user into the system and cannot be changed. The picture below shows sample personal settings page:

An account administrator can limit user access and indicate whether a user is allowed to modify his/her contact information and enable/disable email notifications. In the picture below an administrator is allowing a user to modify contact information and closing an access to enable/disable email notifications. In case email notifications are enabled for this user by default, an administrator ensures that they will not be disabled by mistake:

System settings
System settings apply to the account and can be modified only by a user with account administrator privileges. Other account users will see the changes next time they log in. By clicking Administrator -> System Settings from the main WebAsyst window, an account administrator can modify the following setting (as in the picture below):
- Date Format – specify date format (MM/DD/YYYY, DD.MM.YYYY, etc.). All date records of WebAsyst applications included in the account will be displayed in the specified format.
- Session Expiration Interval – set the time in minutes, which indicates how long the system can stay idle for every user. At the end of the specified time period a user will be logged off. You can also set the interval to “Never expires” to stay logged in till the system is closed.
An account administrator can also specify company information settings by clicking Administrator -> Company Information. He/she can fill in “Company Name” field and indicate image file in “Select Logo Image” field (only GIF images are allowed) to have company name and logo appear in the top panel of WebAsyst window:

The rest of the fields on the Company Information page include address and contact details.
An administrator of an account hosted on WebAsyst server can also open Account Information page (by clicking Administrator -> Account Information) to access account details related to included WebAsyst applications and system resources. The page also includes links to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel the account.
