Account

This page shows your user information and (if your user role has the relevant permissions) your settings, company details, and your license details. You can change your settings and company details, and buy a paid license.

If you are a user in multiple tenants, you can also switch between tenants on this page.

You can also watch the instruction video.

Profile

You can change your personal profile:

• Name - change your name. Please note that you can't change your own email address, as this can only be done in Account - Users.
• Mobile phone - your mobile phone number, including country prefix. This is used for Multi Factor Authentication (one of the optional account security options).
• Dates & numbers - select how you want dates and numbers to be formatted. This will apply to all reports and screens.
• Notify me on changes - choose if you want to be notified when changes are made to certain objects.
• Emails - select if you want to receive notification emails from us.
• Tips - select if you want to see tips whilst you navigate through XLReporting. Tips are small (i) icons in every screen that show tips when you hover over them.
• Suggestions - select if you want to see suggestions while you are working in XLReporting. Suggestions are popup messages that show recommendations based on your actions.

Account

If your user role has Edit tenant permission, you can also change the tenant settings for your account:

• Company name and address - enter or edit your company address details.
• Currency - set the default currency. You can deviate from this in reports.
• Your logo - enter the URL to an image file. This image will be displayed as the logo. You can copy the address of a web-based image file by right-clicking on the relevant webpage in your web browser and selecting "Copy image address".
• Color - you can assign a default color for the page header. Optionally, you can define a different color for each group of items. This makes user navigation more intuitive.
• Security options - select the security options for your account. Please read the next paragraph for detailed explanations.
• Global settings - define global settings that you can lookup in any import, report, or model using the SETTING() function.
• Script - create a script to define custom functions which you can use in any expression across all your objects. This option is for advanced use, and only visible if your user role has Edit script permission. Read more about scripts.

Security options

If your user role has Edit tenant permission, you can also change the security options for your account:

• Require MFA login - when enabled, this creates an extra level of security when logging into XLReporting. In addition to email and password, users will be prompted to enter a code that is displayed on their mobile device. You can use any mobile app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Twilio Authy, LastPass etc.
  
  Should you loose your mobile or app settings, you can contact us to have a fallback code sent to you per email.
• Require same domain - when enabled, this will require the email address of new users to be same domain(s) that are already currently in use. For example, if your current users have "@mycompany.nl" and "@mycompany.com" email addresses, all new users have to be on either of those 2 domains. Whenever you want to add a domain, you can temporarily disable this setting, create a new user with the new domain, and then enable this setting again.
• Disable external dashboards - by default, dashboards can be published to external people who don't have to be registered users within XLReporting (read more). If you don't want your users to be able to do this, you can disable that feature here for your entire account.
• Disable object scripts - by default, scripts can be created when defining objects. Scripts are small pieces of program code that can perform automated and repetitive tasks, but they carry a limited risk. If you don't want your users to be able to do this, you can disable that feature here for your entire account.

Global settings

Global settings enable you to define flags and "key=value" controls. You can look them up using the SETTING() function in your imports, reports, and models. This function returns true if the given setting exists in the global settings of the tenant (or its value if defined), else false. See the SETTING function for more details.

Please note that global settings are case-sensitive. Avoid using spaces.
