Configure User Settings Profiles Easily

Setting up your User Profile

There are 5 tabs to configure in the user profile settings. Each user must configure their user profile settings.

Personal Information Tab

  • Update your Contact Information

Enter in basic profile and contact information for yourself, your team, and any location and licensing information as needed.

  • Upload your profile picture

Your profile picture will appear at the top right across Shape as well as on your Portal referral landing page.

  • Change your password

Change your password if you need to make an adjustment. Make sure you follow the password rules.

  • Set 2 Factor Authentication for your login

Two-factor authentication (22FA) is a method of establishing access to an online account or computer system that requires the user to provide two different types of information. 2FA is an extra layer of security used to make sure that people trying to gain access to an online account are who they say they are. Choose from either a text or email. When you have 2FA enabled, upon logging in with your username and password, you will also receive a code texted or emailed to your preferred method. You will need to enter in this code in order to proceed with logging into Shape.

  • Access your Portal Application link

If you are using Shape POS for your applications, you will find your application link here to share with your customers.

Email & Calendar Tab

Here you can sync your Gmail or Outlook calendar to Shape, connect email forwarding, as well as input your email signature
