Your profile is where you keep your details up to date and keep track of your own work: time, bookings, absences, and activity. To open it, click your avatar in the top-right corner.
đ What you can change depends on your permission set. Admins can edit everything. If something in this article isnât available to you, ask one of your admins.
Updating Your Details
Open the Info tab. Click a field, make the change, then press Enter or click away to save.
Profile Picture (Avatar)
Click the avatar at the top of your profile, next to your name, to add or change your profile picture.
Name and Login Email
Click First name, Last name, or Email to change them.
When you change your login email, Productive asks you to confirm. Click Change email to use the new address the next time you log in, or Cancel to keep the old one.
If you belong to more than one organization, your name and login email change in all of them.
If you log in with single sign-on (SSO), you canât change your email here.
Nickname
Click Nickname to add one. People can use your nickname to search for you or @mention you in comments and docs.
Contact Info
Click + Add contact field to add phone numbers, extra email addresses, physical addresses, or websites. You can add several entries of each type and only fill in whatâs relevant.
Employee Fields
Below your contact info, youâll find the employee fields your organization has set up in Settings > Employee fields. Click a field to fill it in, if your permission set allows it.
Fields Set by Your Admins
These fields are on your Info tab too, but admins manage them:
Job title: specific to your organization, so it only appears on your profile there
Subsidiary: the part of the company you belong to
Role: for example, Project Manager or Copywriter
Permission set: what you can see and do in Productive
Manager: also shown in the org chart
Service types: what you can track time and log expenses on
Teams: the teams youâre part of
Automatic time tracking: when itâs on, your new Resource Planner bookings create time entries automatically. You can still change it on each booking.
Getting Notified About Changes
You can choose people who get notified when your profile changes, for example when your manager, name, email, or subsidiary changes, or a new employee field is added. Go to the Activity tab, open Feed, and add them as subscribers.
đ Subscribers are notified about changes that appear in the feed. Adding a nickname doesnât trigger a notification, but a permission set change does.
Requesting Time Off
Open the Absence tab to see your allowances and your upcoming and past absences. Click Book Absence to send a request.
đ You see Book Absence if your permission set includes Request absence. If an allowance you need is missing, such as Vacation or Work From Home, ask your admin.
Your Profile Tabs
Your profile has the same tabs as everyone elseâs: Info, Time, Planning, Absence, Activity, Org Chart, Projects, and Cost Rates (if you can view your own cost rate).
đ For what each tab shows, see Viewing User and Contact Details.
