1. Set your profile photo
Click the purple camera icon on your initials to upload or remove a profile picture. This helps colleagues recognize you when booking desks or checking who's in the office.
💡 If your company uses SSO via Microsoft, and you have set a profile picture in your Microsoft environment, the image will be pulled when the user first logs in via app.deskbird.com.
2. Manage your personal info
- Edit your name and last name
- Your company name and email address cannot be changed manually. If anything is incorrect, please get in touch with your deskbird Admin.
3. Time format, language & main office
- Time format: Choose between 24-hour or AM/PM display
- Language: Select your preferred interface language
- Main office: Set your default office location for weekly planning
4. Office functions
Select roles like First aider, Fire responder, Evacuation assistant or Key holder that apply to you.
⚠️ You can only assign these functions yourself if your company allows it. If the option is greyed out, please contact your Admin to request changes.
5. Privacy settings
- Private profile: If enabled, only colleagues who send a follow request and get approved by you can see your profile.
- Data privacy: You can opt in/out of Performance & Analytics tools that help improve the deskbird platform.
