UPDATING YOUR KONNECT PROFILE

Introduction To Konnect Profiles

All Kradle user are able to create Professional and Personal Konnect profiles.

2. Navigate to Admin > Account Management.
3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Click the Padlock to switch from private to public.
5. A warning will appear: “After saving your changes, you must login again for those changes to take effect.”
6. Click the Save icon to save your changes.
7. Log out of your account and then log back in to activate the change.

Setting Your Profile To Visible

Updating Your Konnect Profile

If your profile is set to Visible, a user search will find you even if you have not populated First Name and Last Name. The search and results will be based on your Kradle Names.

The two fields are provided for users who might be known by another name.

For example, a Kradle User is named David Brown but he is known as Dave Brown. Entering ‘Dave’ as a First Name will allow other users to find him as Dave or David.

Your full Konnect profile is split into two sections:

• Professional profile
• Personal profile

Each can be toggled as publicly viewable to other Konnect members by checking the boxes.

You can decide what information (if any) you would like other users to see or be used as criteria for other users to find you when searching.

For example, if you have selected to have your Professional profile selected (by ticking the checkbox) and you enter your company name (Company ABC), other users will be able to see your profile when searching for Company ABC using the User Search function.

They will see what you have entered in the other fields as well.

To update your profile, simply enter the details you wish to share and then click the Save icon .
