<TITLE>Editing your User Spec</TITLE>

<p>
Each Perforce username has a specification, or <a href="defs?help#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?help#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?help#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?help">Passwords 
        and P4Web</a> for more information. 
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td><b>Reviews</b></td>
    <td>A list of <a href="defs?help#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>
