User settings

Updated this week

You can find the User settings in the black header bar under the little man icon. Under your name, Click on User settings. These User settings can only be edited in the Web app.

Profile picture

Here you can store your Profile picture. The possible formats are PNG, JPG, GIF, and BMP, with a maximum File size of 10 MB. Drag your picture into the area Drag your new picture here or Click on Select File to choose the picture from a Folder.

Your Profile picture is visible to all other Users.

Email address

Here you see the address with which you registered at docu tools. If you want to change it, follow this guide.

Personal settings

Here you can adjust your name and enter additional details. If you have received an invitation to docu tools, the system automatically used parts of your email address for First name and Last name, which may not necessarily correspond to your name. Here you can easily change this data.

If you insert a phone number and profession, these details are visible to all other Users you work with.

Under Time zone, select the time zone you are currently in, should it not already be displayed correctly.

Language

Here you can select your preferred language. Please note that this language setting only affects the user interface of docu tools. Data entered by Users such as Title, Notices, etc., will continue to be displayed in the language in which they were entered. docu tools is not a translation tool.

Alternatively, you can change the language by Clicking on the little man in the black bar at the top of the screen and selecting the appropriate language from the drop-down menu.

Devices

Here you see the mobile devices connected to your Account. Each Account can have 2 mobile devices connected (e.g., a tablet and a smartphone). These are displayed under "Registered Devices". If you want to register another device, for example, because you are switching to a new smartphone, you must Remove one of the devices by Clicking on Log out device and in the next window Confirm. Then you can start the docu tools app on your new device and Log in with your login details. Your new device will then appear in this section (refresh browser window).

Photo size

Here you set the size in which your photos will be stored. This affects the storage space on your mobile device as well as the synchronization times. By default, "Medium" is selected.

  • Small = The photo is saved in size A6 (one quarter of an A4 page). If you mainly take overview photos, details are no longer clearly visible. This may also affect the quality of your reports.

  • Medium = The photo is saved in size A4. Here, details are clearly visible and the pictures can also be used well in reports.

  • Large = The photo is saved in the original size.

Always confirm changes with Save. If you do not want to save the change, Click on Reset.

Please note that the quality of the photos always depends on the photographer. If the photo is poor, even the highest resolution is of no use. Therefore, always pay attention to light and sharpness of the photo before you save it in docu tools and make a new photo if details are not sufficiently visible.

Change Password

Here you change your Password. You will need your old Password. The new Password must consist of at least 8 characters. Confirm changes with Save. If you do not want to save the change, Click on Reset.
