The User Profile allows you to set specific values only for your user account, such as signature, landing page options, email notification and warnings messages.
To get here:
Profile
User Info
This tab contains basic information like your name, phone number, and address. All users must represent a single person.
Select colour: All markups by this user will appear in the selected colour. The checkered squares indicate that the colour is in use by another user.
Any data fields with an asterisk ('*') are mandatory.
Access
Permissions
Your administrator will have defined your role. For additional information on roles, check here: User Roles.
Access to project-specific and detailed permissions can also be found here.
Login
The users email address is the login value for system access.
Users may update/change their passwords from here.
Affiliate
For customers using Affiliates in DocBoss, by default, new users will get full access (still limited by their role type) to all affiliates that the user creating them has access to. The option to limit access to specific affiliates is only available under the Edit screen (available only after a new user is saved).
For more information, see Enable Affiliate Permissions for a User.
Signature and Certificates
Outputs Signature
Sometimes customers request signatures or handwritten initials to be included on their cover sheets. Once uploaded, these files can be used on all the projects where this is required.
To create the files, you can either (1) bring over an HTML signature, or (2) simply sign a piece of paper, take a photo of it, and upload by dragging and dropping the images in the applicable field.
eSignature
eSignatures allow you to apply a stamp of your signature onto documents. You can configure your eSignature certificate from here.
Notifications
System Notifications
User can choose whether to receive system notifications about all projects, or only those that they are involved with.
Email Notifications
Enable/disable the automated emails which are sent from DocBoss.
Additional options appear for Lists and Reports where you can select your preferences.
Defaults
Edit the behavior for various system settings. In many cases, these settings are defaulted from your role, but can be overridden in this section.
Interface
Project Dashboard

Projects
- Project landing page: Allows you to choose the first screen you see when accessing a project.

Grids
- Copy grid settings: It is possible to copy all grid settings from another user. Generally only users when launching a new user.
- 250 rows per grid: By default, the system shows a maximum of 100 rows per grid. This is generally to make page loading faster. The option exists to display up to 250 rows, but performance may suffer.

Warnings
Warnings are pop ups that show up in DocBoss. You may choose to disable some standard system warnings if you prefer.
