In the User Portal, you can customize your workspace experience. The portal includes information about your session which may be used by your system administrators or support team when troubleshooting your environment.
To find the User Portal, expand the caret to the right of your profile photo and select User Portal from the drop-down.
In the User Portal's Preferences section, you'll find options to customize your workspace, applications, side menu, and default form settings.
In some cases, system administrators may restrict your access to some of the preference settings.
