Choose your language and start page

Select Language to switch the interface. Your employer’s workspace language can differ from your personal choice. Choose the page you want Begin to open by default. For example, start with your schedule when you want to check your next shift. Only pages you can access appear as choices. If you work in several workspaces, you can set a different start page for the current workspace. Set that override to follow your default when you want one choice everywhere. The option to keep your current page while switching workspaces appears when you have more than one workspace.

Make the interface comfortable

Use the sidebar customisation control to show, hide or reorder navigation items you can access. Hiding a page does not remove your permission to use it. Adjust the theme, colour scheme, text size and contrast for readability. Pointer cursors and interface sounds are personal choices. Hide labels in mobile navigation changes the navigation text on small screens. Choose Reset beside Tutorials to show the guided tours again the next time you open the app. This does not reset your work or other preferences.

Hide contact details on your screen

Turn on Hide my contact details to keep your phone number and email off your own account card in the sidebar and mobile menu. This is useful when sharing your screen.
This switch does not hide your contact details from your employer or other people’s records. It does not delete your email or phone number or change how you sign in.
