Personalisation Features

Atlas offers some customisable elements that each user can control for their own experience. These elements can be accessed via the My Atlas button next to Add It in the right-hand side of the main menu

In this article:

• My Links
• My Preferences
• Apply User Preferences

My Links

The My Links feature is available in Atlas 2.1 onwards allows users to add their own links which are stored with their User Profile, meaning wherever that user logs into Atlas they can access the same links. This is mostly intended for users who will log in from multiple devices, since users who always use a desktop computer for example could just use their browser bookmarks instead.

To see your links, open the Atlas menu then click My Links. To learn how to customise them, please see the following article: My Links (Atlas 2.1+)

My Preferences

In Atlas, we provide the ability to map in focus web parts to a user's preferences so that they see a customised view of any content related to the tags they have selected.

For instance, if a user is working with 2 particular departments, within 2 sectors, in one office, or works with a select few clients, the related tags can be selected as part of their preferences.

To set your preferences for the My News component, open the Atlas menu and click My Preferences:

A panel will open down the right-hand side of the page which allows you to pick the Location, Department, Entity, Activity or Subject you are interested in. 

You can pick a maximum of 20 tags, either by clicking the icons on the right of the fields to see all available options and picking the ones you want, or by typing into the box to get suggestions from the existing tags:

These preferences will only appear in in focus web parts which have the 'apply user preferences' option selected.

Apply a Users Preferences

You can ensure a users preferences are applied by selecting the relevant setting within any In Focus web part:

Once this is switched on, the feed will show a customised view of content which related only to the tags that particular user has selected. Content which matches any of the individual tags selected will appear, with the type of content shown controlled from within the In Focus web part:

Please note that if this setting is switched on and the user does not have any tags selected within their preferences, the webpart will appear blank and will most likely 'collapse' so it is completely hidden from view.
