App settings

Use Account Settings to update your personal details, notification preferences, sign-in security, certificates, profile photo, and mobile app lock settings.

Before You Get Started

• To use biometric app-lock, enrol Face ID, Touch ID, or a fingerprint in your device settings first.

Update your personal details

1. Open Account Settings in the sidebar.
2. Go to My Settings and open the Account tab.
3. Edit First Name, Last Name, Phone, Bio, or Language.
4. Click Save.

The interface language can be set to English, Spanish, or Dutch. Changing it switches the interface immediately as a preview, but the choice is saved only when you click Save. The Bio field accepts up to 500 characters. Your phone number is visible only to your legionella consultant and colleagues.

Change your profile photo

1. On the Account tab, click Edit photo on your avatar.
2. Choose a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image under 5 MB.

The new photo replaces the initials avatar. You cannot remove a photo without replacing it with another image.

Choose your notification preferences

1. Open Account Settings and go to My Settings.
2. Open the Notifications tab.
3. In the Email delivery card, choose when email-enabled notifications are sent.
4. In the notification sections, use the Email, Push, and Inbox switches for individual topics, or use a section's master switch.
5. Click Save.

Email delivery option	Result
Immediately	Sends email-enabled notifications immediately.
Daily summary	Groups email-enabled notifications into a daily summary.
Weekly summary	Groups email-enabled notifications into a weekly summary.
Off	Stops email delivery. Email switches are greyed out, but your choices are kept.

Advanced email settings can give a section its own frequency. The notification list can differ between environments because sections, topics, and channels come from the server. Topics marked Required cannot be switched off.

The inbox is a separate channel. Turning off email or push does not remove an inbox notification. Some topics are inbox-only and show only an Inbox switch. Some email-and-inbox topics show a Push switch even though they do not send push notifications.

Manage your password and multi-factor authentication

1. Open Account Settings.
2. Go to My Settings and open the Security tab.
3. Use the embedded security panel to change your password or enrol and manage multi-factor authentication.

The security panel is provided by BriqSafe's identity provider. The available additional authentication methods depend on its configuration. Multi-factor authentication is set up per user and is not forced for every organisation member. If the panel fails to load, use the inline retry option.

Enable biometric app-lock on mobile

1. In the BriqSafe mobile app, tap the BriqSafe logo button to open the menu. On a tablet, open the sidebar.
2. Tap Biometrics.
3. Turn on Use Face ID, Use Touch ID, or Use Biometrics by device.
4. Complete the biometric check.
5. Optionally set Lock Timeout to 1, 2, 5, or 15 minutes.

If the device has no enrolled biometric, Not Available is shown. Enrol one in the device settings first. If the check fails, the setting remains off. Biometric app-lock protects an already signed-in session on that device; it does not replace sign-in multi-factor authentication.

View, add, or manage certificates

View or download a certificate

1. Open Account Settings and go to My Settings.
2. Open the Certifications tab.
3. Click Download for the certificate you need.

Each certificate is listed by certificate type and number. A certificate without a number shows N/A. If none are recorded, the tab shows Add Certification.

Add a certificate

1. Open the Certifications tab and click Add Certification.
2. In the New Certification panel, upload a PDF, JPEG, or PNG certificate file.
3. Complete Certificate name, Certificate type, and Issuing body. You can also complete Certificate number, Issue date, and Expiry date.
4. Click Add.

Issuing body must contain at least 6 characters. A certificate file is required.

Edit or delete a certificate

1. Click a certificate to open Edit Certification.
2. Change the details or upload a replacement file, then click Update.
3. To remove it, click Delete certificate and confirm.

Deletion is permanent. When editing, leaving the document unchanged keeps the existing file. You cannot remove the file without replacing it. The issue date is required, so clearing it prevents the update from being saved.

Sign out

1. Open Account Settings in the sidebar.
2. Select Log Out.

On a collapsed sidebar, Log Out is the last icon below Account Settings. BriqSafe clears the information it kept in your browser, ends the session, and returns you to the sign-in screen. There is no confirmation step.
