Navigate to Preferences
Open the menu and go to 'Settings' to display the available options, then click 'Preferences'. You can also use the search function to get there faster, just start typing 'Preferences'.
Profile
The fields will include the information provided when your account was first created. You can upload a profile picture and update your first name and last name, just keep in mind that both are required. Just click in the field you want to update and make the changes. Here you can also change the Language of FreeAgent CRM between English and Spanish.
Profile Picture
To upload a profile picture click on the square. If you already added a profile picture, click 'Replace' to change it. If you don't want to use a profile picture anymore, click 'Remove'.
Language

Note: The options available for your Organization depend on the current configuration. If you would like an additional language added, contact your team's administrator.
Theme

Personal Preferences
Homepage
Here you can add any URL from FreeAgent CRM, and when you log in, that will be the first page it will load for you.
Email Visibility
By default, the email visibility configuration is 'Public' however you have the option to set it to 'Private'. If set to 'Public' everyone in your organization will be able to see the emails you send and receive in FreeAgent CRM. If you change the setting to 'Private' then the emails you send and receive from that point forward will only be visible to you.
Click the 'Save' button located in the top right corner once you have selected your email visibility preference. A success message will appear in the top right corner indicating that the change was saved correctly.
Public/Private Emails in the Activity Timeline
It is possible to change the visibility configuration for individual emails you have sent and/or received within FreeAgent CRM. All you have to do go to the Activity timeline of your contacts app, select the desired contact, hover over the email you want to make public/private.
There you will see a lock icon that will indicate if the email is public or private. Public emails will show the 'open lock' icon when you hover over them and the email icon will appear as normal. Private emails will have the 'closed lock' icon when you hover over them and will display a small 'lock' icon. To change the visibility of the email, just click on the 'lock' icon.
Special Considerations
If the 'Email Tracking' configuration is enabled for your organization when the email was sent, it will be tracked in the Email Analytics, however, the information shown in the list for that email is going to be limited. It will basically record the activity and will show if the email was opener or not, but the 'Body' of the email will appear empty as it is 'Private' information.
Web Conferencing Information
It is possible to include your Web Conferencing information in FreeAgent CRM.
You have the option to add the URL for your personal meeting room. The URL will vary based on the service you use for Web Conferencing, just make sure that the URL is complete.
Warn about unsaved changes
When enabled, you will be notified when you have made changes that you haven't saved and also when you are creating new records but you try to navigate out of that page.
