Profile & Session
Your Profile page is your personal hub in DocLock. It shows who you are, your contact and employment details, the assets assigned to you, and a history of your recent sign-ins. From here you can update your "About" blurb, open the Change Password form, and review where your account has been logged in. Signing out is always one click away from the top bar.
How to open your profile
- Click your name / avatar button in the top bar (it shows your initials and username).
- Route:
/profile - Access: Available to every signed-in user — it always shows your own profile.
What you see on this page
The page is split into a left identity panel and a wider right panel.
Identity card (left)
- Your avatar (your initials on a colored tile) with a green "online" dot.
- Your name, job title, your department badge, and an Active status badge.
- A contact list with your email, phone, and office location.
- A Change Password button.
Note: Your name and department come from your signed-in account, and your email is shown based on your username. Some details on this page (such as phone number, office location, job title, manager, and join date) are presented as sample profile information.
About (left)
A short bio and a set of skill tags. Click the pencil icon to edit your bio, then click the check icon to finish.
Details (right)
A grid of employment details: Employee ID, Manager, Join Date, Work Type, Time Zone, and Department.
My Assets (right)
A list of equipment and software assigned to you (laptop, phone, licenses, peripherals), each with an ID, type, and an Active badge. View all links to the full asset list.
Login History (right)
Your last 7 sessions, each showing the device, browser, location, IP address, time, and whether the sign-in succeeded or failed. Your current session is tagged Current.
Tip: A failed sign-in from an unfamiliar device or location is worth reporting to your administrator.
Walkthrough: edit your About section
- In the About card, click the pencil icon in the top-right.
- Edit the text in the box that appears.
- Click the check icon to finish editing and return to the read view.
Walkthrough: change your password
- Click Change Password on your identity card (left panel).
- The Change Password panel opens with three fields:
- Current Password
- New Password
- Confirm New Password
- Fill in all three fields.
- Click Update Password, or Cancel to close without changing anything.
Note: This panel provides the standard change-password form. For password rules or if your password isn't accepted, contact your administrator.
Walkthrough: sign out (end your session)
- Go to the top bar.
- Click the Sign out (logout) button.
- DocLock ends your session and returns you to the login screen.
About your session
- Your session stays active for a set period after you sign in and then expires automatically, so you'll be asked to log in again.
- Signing out immediately ends the session on this device.
- For security, sign out when using a shared or public computer.
Tips
- Keep your About blurb and skills current so colleagues know your areas of expertise.
- Review Login History periodically — it's the quickest way to spot a sign-in you don't recognize.
- Use the Sign out button (not just closing the tab) when you're done on a shared device.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to check |
|---|---|
| I see someone else's details | The profile page always shows your account — confirm you're signed in as yourself via the top-bar name. |
| My name or department looks wrong | These come from your account; ask your administrator to correct your account details. |
| The Change Password form won't accept my new password | Make sure all three fields are filled and the new passwords match; contact your administrator for password requirements. |
| I was logged out unexpectedly | Sessions expire automatically after a period of inactivity or time — simply sign in again. |
| I don't recognize a login in my history | Note the device, location, and IP, and report it to your administrator. |
