Personal Profile


View Profile

To view your personal profile:

  1. Click on the “My Groups” button in the main toolbar.





  2. Select your username in the group list. For example, if my username is “kristin7″, I would want to select “kristin7″ in the group list.





  3. When you select your username in the group list, you are selecting to look at your personal group. Your profile will display on the right. Note that in the example below, the profile is incomplete and not very appealing. This profile needs to be edited to look better (See also: Edit Profile).






    4. This profile is visible in other parts of the application when other Shazzle members want to know more about you. A couple of places where the profile is displayed is in the People SearchResults (See also: Search for People) and in the Group Member list (See also: View Group Member List).

Edit Profile

If your profile has incomplete or incorrect information, edit the profile.

  1. Select “Edit User Profile…” from the “File” menu.

    2. The information you will want to edit is in the first three panels: Contact Information, Additional Information, and Personal Page. The Contact Information is information related to location and contact. Any information (other than your password) that you add here will display on your profile.

  2. Enter information in for Contact Information.





  3. Click on the “Additional Information” tab and fill in the relevant information.





  4. Click on the “Personal Page” tab and enter a description (or any text you want) that will display on your profile.





  5. If you want to change the picture that displays from the standard Shazzle logo to one of your own choosing, click on the “Browse” button and select an image.





  6. Click OK to save the changes.
  7. View your profile (See also: View Profile).





    8. As you can see, my profile now looks a lot more complete and has my picture. We can make it even more unique by editing the fonts and colors that display on the profile (See also: Customize Profile Colors and Fonts).
