What Information Can Be Changed?​

Almost all fields on the My Profile page are editable directly by you. This includes your contact details, bio, and profile picture. The only restriction is that your WhatsApp Number must only contain numeric digits up to 15 characters.

What Information Cannot Be Changed?​

Currently, there are no read-only fields on this screen, giving you full control over your profile record. Note: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is currently read-only as the setup module is coming soon.

How to Update Your Profile​

  1. Open My Profile.
  2. Locate the information you want to update (e.g., your Phone Number).
  3. Change the text in the editable field.
  4. Review the information.
  5. Click the Save Changes button in the top right corner. (If using a mobile device, use the Save button on the bottom action bar).
  6. Wait for the update to complete.
  7. A green success message saying "Profile updated successfully" will appear at the top.

Profile Picture / Avatar​

You can upload a custom picture to replace the default user icon.

  • Hover over your existing picture and click the Camera icon, or click the Change Picture button.
  • Select an image file from your computer.
  • The image will immediately appear as a preview.
  • Important: The image is not saved until you click Save Changes at the top of the page.

Managing Skills and Territories​

Unlike standard profile fields, Agent Skills and Assigned Territories save instantly when you add or delete them.

To add a skill:

  1. Click Add Skill.
  2. Enter the skill name and select a proficiency level (1-10).
  3. Click Add Skill in the modal.

To delete a skill:

  1. Hover over the skill card.
  2. Click the red trash can icon.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

Validation and Common Errors​

WhatsApp Number Error​

If you try to enter letters or symbols into the WhatsApp Number field, or exceed 15 characters, you will receive an error: WhatsApp number must be 1-15 digits (no special characters or letters). To fix this, remove any spaces, dashes, or plus signs from your number.

Update Profile Flowchart​

How Profile Information Is Used Elsewhere​

Your profile picture, full name, and job title appear in the top-right corner dropdown across the entire application. Other users may see your information in team directories or when you are assigned to a task.

Permissions and Access​

By default, all authenticated users have access to their own My Profile page. No special organizational permissions are required to edit your own details.

My Profile vs My Preferences​

  • My Profile controls information about you as a person and professional (e.g., name, phone, bio, skills).
  • My Preferences controls how the application behaves for you (e.g., sidebar layout, dock mode).

Troubleshooting​

My profile picture didn't save. Did you upload the file but forget to click Save Changes? Uploading the picture only previews it; you must save the form to confirm.

I cannot enable 2FA. The 2FA feature is currently under development. Clicking "Enable 2FA" will show a "coming soon" alert.

Technical Reference​

This section is for developers and support engineers troubleshooting the My Profile feature.

  • Component: ProfilePage.tsx (src/routes/ProfilePage.tsx)
  • Route: /profile
  • State Management: Uses local React state const [profile, setProfile] initialized by a fetch effect.
  • API Endpoints:
    • GET /user/profile (Load profile data)
    • PUT /user/profile (Save profile data)
  • Agent Service Integrations: Skills and Territories are managed via agentService.ts.
    • Adding/deleting skills or territories triggers immediate backend requests (agentService.createSkill, agentService.deleteSkill) rather than batching with the main profile save.
  • Image Handling: The profile picture uses an <input type="file" accept="image/*">. On change, it is converted to a base64 string using FileReader.readAsDataURL() and sent within the PUT payload under profile_picture_base64.
  • Validation Constraints: The frontend actively scrubs non-digit characters from whatsapp_number during onChange and applies a slice(0, 15). On submit, a regex /^\d{1,15}$/ enforces the final check.
  • Mobile Support: Mobile view automatically shows a <MobileActionBar> with "Back" and "Save" buttons that trigger form submission using event dispatching.
