Settings: appearance, preferences & security

Settings contains your account's Appearance, Security and Preferences tabs. Organization Admin additionally sees Metadata. There is no separate About tab in the current Settings screen; About Eduskon is a public website page, described in the Public website guide.

These preferences belong to the signed-in user, not the whole institution. The save indicator reports Loading, Saving or Saved to your account. Changes are applied immediately and sent to your account; wait for successful saving before navigating away if the connection is unreliable.

Color theme changes the interface accent and coordinated surfaces. The current choices are Emerald, Ocean, Violet, Rose and Graphite. Emerald is the default color theme. All screenshots in this documentation were captured with Emerald and Light selected; your saved theme may make the same controls look different.

Display mode is separate from color. Light forces light surfaces, Dark forces dark surfaces, and System follows the device preference. The navigation theme toggle is another way to change mode; it does not grant permissions or alter student data. Reduce motion limits interface animation for users who prefer less movement.

Default record view chooses Cards, List or Table as your starting preference where the screen supports that layout. Individual directories can support only some modes and can remember a screen-specific choice, so selecting Table here does not add a table button to a page that only offers Cards and List.

Table spacing changes Comfortable or Compact density where supported. It changes presentation, not exported records, permission scope, pagination totals or academic status. Reset preferences restores the application defaults, including Emerald, System mode, the default Cards preference and comfortable spacing.

Security provides Current password, New password and Confirm new password. Use the eye button to reveal or hide a field while checking it. This screen validates at least eight characters, an uppercase letter and a number, and requires the two new password values to match.

A successful change clears the current client session and returns you to Login. Sign in again with the new password. If you do not remember the current password, use the separate Forgot password process instead of guessing repeatedly. This tab does not let you edit account roles or the organization's owner.

For organization Admin, Metadata shows organization metadata counts and a Batches link. A batch represents an academic grouping or cycle and is connected to classes and enrollment. Select Batches to reach its searchable management list.

In the batch list, use Edit to correct a name and the status control to enable or disable a batch. Connected class information is reviewed separately in Classes. These are organization-level academic decisions, not personal preferences.
