My account

The General tab in "Account" is used to specify general localization and display settings:

• Display language.  
• Time zone. The application's clock is set automatically. 
• Date format: day/month/year or month/day/year or year-month-day.
• Time format: 24-hour ("13:00") or AM/PM ("1:00 pm").
• The application that opens by default when you log into BlueMind.
• Change password.
  From version 3.5.14, the interface shows you when the password was last changed and whether it was changed by a user or an administrator.

Password expiry

From BlueMind version 3.5.15, administrators can set up a password expiry policy:

• systematically: all user passwords must be changed after a set number of days
• on an ad hoc basis: when an account has been compromised, administrators can force-expire your password and you will have to change it.

In either case, when you attempt to log in with the old password, the window below will open:

Once the password has been changed, you will be redirected to the log in window again you will be able to log into BlueMind with your new password.

The "Advanced" tab in "Account" gives you access to advanced settings. Specifically you can reset your application's data and enable notifications (see below).
