Updating your profile | User Support | DMI

To edit your user profile, click the gear icon  at the very top right corner of any public DMI webpage. From the drop-down window, select "Edit my profile" to go to the edit profile page. The profile includes login information, your profile photo, preferences, and often (depending on your community) details about your personality and interests. 

On the left side of the screen, there are a number of different tabs you can select to edit various aspects of your user profile. See the image below for an example list of tabs (your tabs may very in your community).

1. Login Information

In login information, you can change your account’s email address and password. To change your email address, delete the "Your email address" field and type in your new email. If the email address is available for use (valid format and not used by another user), click "save." That new email will begin receiving all email notifications you’re subscribed to.

To change your password, change the first password field and then change the confirmation password field to match.

These tabs all function similarly to the rest, making it easy for you and your coworkers to learn about one another.
