ProjectWise Explorer Help

User Properties Dialog

Used to change your password, working directory location, groups you belong to, personal workspace settings, and various user settings, for the active datasource you are logged in to. Opens when you select Tools > Options.

General tab

Used to display various user information, and if applicable, to change your password for the datasource you are logged into.

  • User Name - The name of the user you are logged in as.

    If you logged in using ProjectWise authentication, this is simply the name of your ProjectWise account.

    If you logged in using any other type of authentication, this field shows the name of the external account that is associated to your ProjectWise account that you used to log in. For example, if you logged in using Windows domain authentication, this field will show the name of your Windows account (for example, Jonathan.Doe@Company.com), which may be different from the name of your ProjectWise user account (which might be something simple like 'John').

  • User Description - The description of your ProjectWise account.
  • E-mail - The email address associated with your ProjectWise account.
  • Native authentication enabled - If this setting is on, it means that you can log in using ProjectWise authentication.
  • Old password | New password | Verify new password - If Native authentication enabled is on, you can use these fields to change the password to be used the next time you log in using ProjectWise native authentication.

Settings tab

Contains your personal user settings, which determine what you can and cannot do, in general, with documents, folders, and work areas. User settings also determine what items you see in ProjectWise Explorer, for example whether or not versions display, or where or not custom folders display. The settings you see on this tab are those which the administrator has given you permission to view and change.

Member Of tab

Displays the Groups and User Lists that you are a member of. Your administrator controls which groups and user lists you belong to.

Personal WorkSpace tab

Used to create the configuration variables for your personal workspace, when using managed workspaces.
