Personal preferences

Two sections under Account in Settings belong to you rather than to your organisation: My Profile and Preferences. Nothing here affects your colleagues.

Your profile

Account → My Profile, under Personal Information.

1. Profile Photo — press Upload Photo and choose a JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP of up to 2 MB. A large picture is shrunk in your browser before it is sent, which also strips the location data a phone writes into a photo. Your new picture appears straight away while the upload finishes.
2. Full Name — required. This is the name your colleagues see against everything you do, including in the audit log, so put your real one.
3. Email Address — shown with a padlock, and not editable.
4. Phone Number — optional.
5. Press Save Changes. Unsaved changes sits beside the button while anything is pending, and a save confirms with Profile updated successfully.

You cannot change your own email address

The helper text says to contact Sqoura support, and it means it — the link opens a support request. There is no self-serve way to move your account to another address. See Getting support.

Changing your password is on the same screen and is covered in Your account and security.

Appearance

Account → Preferences opens with a Theme dropdown offering Light, Dark and System. It applies the instant you pick it and there is nothing to save.

Theme is stored by the browser, not on your account, so it is set per browser. Choosing dark on your laptop leaves your phone exactly as it was.

Display currency

On the Language & Time card, Display currency offers Original currency (no conversion) or any supported presentment currency. It changes what payment amounts are shown converted to across your dashboards.

Leave it unset to inherit whatever your organisation has chosen as its default — see Organisation settings.

Conversion is an estimate, and only a display

Converted amounts are described throughout as an estimate at daily rates. Applicants are always charged the original amount, and the original amount is what reaches your bank. Never reconcile your accounts against a converted figure.

Language, timezone and date format

The same card carries three more settings, which are saved against your account when you press Save preferences:

• Timezone — twelve options, from UTC to Sydney.
• Date Format — DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD.
• Language — English, Spanish, French, Chinese or Japanese.

These three are stored, but nothing reads them yet

Your choice is saved and will still be there when you come back, but it does not change anything on screen today. Dates and times are not re-formatted to match, and Sqoura is not translated — picking Spanish, French, Chinese or Japanese leaves every page in English.

We would rather tell you than have you set them, see no difference, and spend an afternoon working out what you did wrong. Nothing is broken and there is nothing to report. Display currency above is the one setting on that card that does visibly change what you see.

Notifications

What reaches you by email, in the bell, and by browser push is set separately under Account → Notifications. See Notifications.
