Your profile

Profile, from your account menu in the top bar, is your own settings. Everything here affects only you.

Account details

Field	What it does
First Name / Last Name	How you appear throughout
Email Address	Your login and where notifications go
Position	Your role, shown to colleagues
New Password	Change your password
Avatar image	Your picture
Last Login	When you were last on

Update Account saves it.

Your password

Change it from New Password.

Use a long, unique one and store it in a password manager. SmarteBuild holds your job costs, your margins, your subcontractor rates and your clients’ details — it is worth the same care as your accounting system.

Never share your login

Every action records who did it. A shared account destroys that record, and it is the record you rely on when a number is queried. If a colleague needs access, they need their own account.

Last Login

Worth a glance occasionally. If it shows a time you were not working, tell your administrator and change your password.

Email signature

Field	What it does
Email Signature	The text appended to mail you send
Signature image	A logo or image in the signature
Signature width	How wide that image renders
Show Signature	Whether it is included

The signature goes on orders, tender invitations, variations and claims — documents that reach subcontractors, suppliers and clients. It is worth setting up properly.

Include your name, position, company, phone and website. Keep it short: a subcontractor reading an order on a phone does not need six lines of disclaimer above the content.

Set Signature width so the logo is legible without dominating. Around 200 pixels suits most logos; the default is often too large.

Email sending

SMTP Host, SMTP Port, SSL Required, Email Password and Set as my default email configure sending from your own address.

Test and Save checks the settings before storing them — always use it rather than plain save, so a problem surfaces now rather than when you send a tender. See Email settings.

Hide Getting Started Page

Suppresses the getting-started screen once you no longer need it.

Leave it on for your first weeks. It is a reasonable checklist of the setup steps, and turning it off early means finding those steps yourself.

Worth doing on day one

Five minutes, and it makes everything you send afterwards look right:

1. Set your name and position properly.
2. Add an avatar — it makes Messages and the activity lists readable at a glance.
3. Set up email sending and Test and Save it.
4. Write your signature and set the image width.
5. Change your password to something unique.
