Note
If you log in via Single Sign On your FirstName and LastName attributes may be automatically set on each login if your Single Sign On system is configured to send these attributes to TrialGrid.
Organization
A user may be associated with an Organization signifiying that they are an employee of that Organization. If a user has been associated with an Organization they may also be assigned permission to create URLs by TrialGrid Ltd staff.
A User who is associated with an organization and has been granted permission to create URLs for that Organization is able to see all URLs for that organization in the list of URLs but will not be able to view their content unless they have a role in that URL. This helps the user to avoid trying to create duplicate URLs whose names must be unique within an organization.
Profile Pictures / Avatars
Users are assigned a default "blank" icon which does not display in any listings of the system but can change their profile to any picture uploaded from their own computer.
Note
Any uploaded image is resized to a square shape. Aspect ratio is not maintained so for best results upload an image of at least 400x400 pixels but with equal height and width. .png / .gif and .jpg image types are supported.
Users may also select an Avatar from a set of unique images generated from their username or may elect to have no Avatar at all by selecting a "blank" avatar icon.
Default Page Size
Normally listings in the system show 20 rows per page. This option allows the user to set their default rows-per-page size. Users can also change the listing size on a per-page basis and the system will store that selection in the users browser. This allows the user to set a default page size (say 50 rows) but to change the page size for a particular Edit Check listing in a draft.
Note
Custom-per-listing settings are stored in the browser and will be cleared if the browser cache is cleared and not available if the user logs in using a different browser.
Date Display Mode
This setting controls how dates and times are displayed throughout the application. Users can choose between:
Relative (default): Displays dates as relative time such as "2 hours ago" or "3 days ago". Hovering over the date shows the full absolute date and time in a tooltip.
Absolute: Displays dates in a fixed format. The exact format depends on the Date Format setting below. Hovering over the date shows the relative time in a tooltip.
This preference affects all date displays across the application including activity timestamps, task creation dates, and other time-related information.
Date Format
This setting controls the format used to display absolute dates throughout the application. It affects both the main display when Date Display Mode is set to "Absolute", and the tooltip hints when Date Display Mode is set to "Relative". Users can choose between:
ISO (default): Displays dates in ISO format such as "2024-01-18 14:30". This format uses 24-hour time and places the year first.
ISO UTC: Displays dates in ISO format in UTC timezone such as "2024-01-18 14:30 UTC". This is useful for debugging and comparing against server logs.
UK/Europe: Displays dates in European format such as "18/01/2024 14:30". This format uses 24-hour time and places the day before the month.
US: Displays dates in US format such as "01/18/2024 2:30 PM". This format uses 12-hour time with AM/PM and places the month before the day.
Full 12-hour: Displays dates in a verbose format with 12-hour time such as "Monday, January 18, 2024 2:30 PM".
Full 24-hour: Displays dates in a verbose format with 24-hour time such as "Monday, January 18, 2024 14:30".
Browser Default: Uses your browser's locale settings to determine the date format. This will match the date format used by other applications on your system.
