The following items further describe the settings on the "Accounts Settings" page from the System Menu on the Administrator toolbar.

 

Portal Name: This is the name of your portal, which will appear in the top of the window when your users navigate to your portal.

 

Portal Hostname: This is the subdomain of your portal’s URL.

Note: The hostname can only be changed by an Acendre support representative. Contact support to change your subdomain.

 

Default Language and Default Timezone: Users will see this language upon loading your site and all class times will be given in this time-zone’s time, unless the time zone is set differently in the learner’s profile.

 

Login and Password: Sets the login and password for the System Administrator account.

Note: Users assigned an Administrator role are not able to change the password for the Administrator account. Only the System Administrator (non-user) can change the password.

 

Company and Contact Name: Information about the Administrator (non-user). A few notes on these parameters:

• This information does not appear to learners or any users in a role without access to the Account Settings section of the System menu.
• Message Center messages from the Administrator (non-user) will appear to recipients as from “Administrator”.
• In the body of Email Notifications, when the recipient is the Administrator (non-user), the Recipient placeholders pull “[Administrator]” as the name (both full name and first name).
• To show your users your contact information, use the Footer section of Interface & Layout.

Email: The System Administrator email address. This is where all emails directed to the System Administrator are sent (Email Notifications, etc).
