The User Profile Screen or Account Settings allows you to make changes such as updating your password, adding a photo, and signing out of the system. 



The profile screen shows:

  • Your first and last name*
  • Email address*
  • Phone Number*
  • Space to change and confirm your password (Hover your mouse over the question mark to view the Clarity password requirements.)
  • Profile Override* (Determines what information you can collect on the client's profile page. The Agency Default setting is standard for the entire agency. )
  • Home Screen Override (Allows you to set what page your Clarity session opens on. For example, a dashboard, a client search screen, etc.)
  • Recent Services (Hide/Show allows you to either see any services the client has been or is currently enrolled in.)
  • Auto Suggest (Allows you to begin to enter a client's name, then the system completes it. This feature can be disabled.) 
  • Favorite Reports is applicable to users who have access to more than one Agency in Clarity.  This allows favorite reports to be seen in one Agency or in each Agency the user has access to.
  • Enable 2FA is permanently enabled per CoC regulations. See the article Using Two-Factor Authentication for more information. 
  • Assessment Due Warning (Tells the system to alert you of an upcoming assessment, and can be set to give you anywhere from 1 to 30 days advance notice.)
