Update User Information

If the Login ID field is updated, Certain sends an email to both the old and new email addresses, confirming the change. A Welcome/Temporary Password email is sent to the new email address.
User Preferences
- Menu Style – Choose how the menus at the top of each Certain page should look.
- Panel – The default choice, and useful especially for new users. Shows all sub-menu choices (both second- and third-level) when you click a top-level choice. Example: When you click Plan, you see Configure, and below that, 'Alerts', 'Integration', Display, etc. Below that you see Event Setup, with all its choices, and so on. A list of Resources (such as PDF guides) may be available for each top-level menu choice in an event: Plan, Promote, Manage, etc.
- Drill Down – Shows only the second level sub-menu choices when you click a top-level choice. Example: When you click Plan, you see Configure, Event Setup, etc. You then need to click one of those in order to see its third-level choices, such as Configure > Alerts, or Event Setup > Details.
