My account
The My account button in the Planon ribbon allows you to edit your personal data and account settings. In My user account, you can view your User name, Password expiry date and change your password with the Change password option.
Note |  Planon application managers can add or remove fields in this window in the Web Configuration TSI. For more information, see Making My account settings for end users. |
In My account settings, click the Edit button to change the following settings:
• Use 24-hour notation
With this setting, you can toggle between the 24-hour clock notation and the 12-hour clock notation (with AM and PM). The 24-hour clock notation represents time continuously from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59 (11:59 PM) without the use of AM or PM indicators, employing a 24-hour format to express the time of day. The 12-hour clock notation, along with AM (Ante Meridiem) and PM (Post Meridiem), divides the day into two 12-hour segments to denote time. The selected time notation is used throughout the application.
• Contact's email address
Select or add an email address that must be used as the user's Exchange email address. This field is used by the Connect for Outlook feature in order to link the Outlook user to a user account in Planon.
• Language
Select the language in which you want to display the application.
• Displayed unit of length
Select the unit of length you want to use in the application: meters or feet. The selected unit of length is used throughout the application.
• Autoselect first item in list?
Select Yes to automatically highlight and select the first item in the elements list.
• Theme
Select the theme you want to use: Planon light, Planon dark or High contrast.
