The Preferences page enables you to change your password, user settings, and time zone settings.

To access the Preferences page from the navigation bar, click the Administration menu and select My Preferences. You can also click your <user name> next to the Logout button.

Perform the following steps to manage your preferences.

1. In the Old Password field, enter your current password.

2. In the New Password field, enter your new password.

3. In the Confirm Password field, enter your new password a second time.

4. In the First Name field, enter the name to display next to the word Welcome on the Welcome Dashboard.

5. In the Last Name field, enter the last name to appear next to the first name on the navigation bar.

7. Click the Date Format drop-down and select the date format to use by default.

8. Click the Time Zone drop-down and select a time zone. This is the time zone that appears as the default for the graphs and reports you create. If a time zone does not appear in the list, you can add time zones on the Cluster Manager > Cluster Settings tab.

9. Select the Startup Check check box if you want SevOne NMS to verify that the time zone for the application is the same as the time zone for the browser.

    Cluster Manager > Cluster Settings > General > Week starts on is set to Sunday .
    Administration > My Preferences > Week starts on is set to Monday .
    When reports are mailed, it will choose the day set in Cluster Manager (Sunday as shown in this example) as the week's start day.

11. Click the Language drop-down and select a language. This option appears when you select the Enable Localization check box on the Cluster Manager > Cluster Settings > General subtab. Localization is a work in progress beta feature.
