<H3>Editing your User Spec</H3>
<p>
Each Perforce username has a specification, or <a href="defs.html#userspec">user spec</a>, associated with it. The Edit User page
allows you to update the spec for your username.
<p> <B>To edit your user spec:</B>
<ol>
<li>Click on the <b>Users</b> tab.
<li> Select the <B>Edit current user</B> link at the top of that page.
<li>Enter new values in the fields on that page.
<li>Click <b>Save</b> to update your user spec.
</ol>
<P> The <b>Edit User</b> page shows the following fields:
<table width="66%" border="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td><b>Field</b></td>
<td><b>Description</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>User</b></td>
<td>Your Perforce username. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Email</b></td>
<td>Your email address. This can be used by a <a href="defs.html#reviewdaemon">review
daemon</a> to send you email when files you're interested in have changed.
(See the <b>Reviews</b> field, below.) </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Update</b></td>
<td>The date and time at which your user spec was last updated. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Access</b></td>
<td>The date and time at which you last accessed the Perforce server. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>FullName</b></td>
<td>Your full name. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>JobView</b></td>
<td> A search expression that specifies which open <a href="defs.html#job">jobs</a>
automatically appear in a changelist form when you create or submit changelists.
(You can close jobs and permanently associate them with a changelist number
by listing those jobs in the changelist form when you submit it.)
<p> For instance, "project=titan type=bug" in the JobView field causes all
open jobs with those parameters to appear in the <b>Jobs</b> field of
your changelist forms.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Password</b></td>
<td>Your Perforce password (masked). If this field is empty, you do not have
a Perforce password. You can create or change your Perforce password by
entering a value in this field and clicking "Save". (After you do this,
you must re-authenticate your browser with the new password. To re-authenticate
your browser, just click the link that appears in the first password error
message you see.)
<p> <font color=red>Warning:</font> If you clear the password field in this
form, and click "Save", you remove your Perforce password. Using a P4Web
Helper without having a Perforce password set is not advised. See <a href="auth.html">Passwords
and P4Web</a> for more information.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Reviews</b></td>
<td>A list of <a href="defs.html#filepattern">file patterns</a> that indicate
the depot files with changes you want to review. For example, a <b>Reviews</b>
field containing:
<pre> //depot/projects/titan/...</pre>
indicates that you'd like to review changes to any of the files in the <tt>//depot/projects/titan
</tt>path. If your Perforce installation has a review daemon running, you
are notified by email when changelists affecting any of these files are
submitted. </td>
