Setting collaboration preferences

You can customize your collaboration preferences to change your subscriptions and edit your profile.

Before you begin

To add comments, you must have an IBM ID. To register, go to the My IBM profile web site.

About this task

To set up your collaboration preferences:

Procedure

  1. Sign in with your IBM ID and password.
  2. Expand the comments section, which is located at the bottom of each topic, and click Tools > Preferences.
  3. Edit your preferences:
    • To change your display name, click Change It on the My Profile tab. You are forwarded to the correct IBM web site to change your display name.
    • To change your subscriptions, click the My Watches tab. To watch the whole information center, click the Enable the information center watch box, select your language, and click the >> button. You can enable or disable the information center watch in various languages and select individual pages that you no longer want to watch.
  4. Save your preferences:
    • To save your changes, click Save on each tab, then click Close. You must save your changes on each tab before closing the Preferences pane. Close does not save changes; it only closes the edit preferences pane.
  5. Reset your subscription preferences:
    • To reset your subscription preferences, click the Reset button on the My Watches tab. Reset reverts your preferences to the last time you saved them.

Results

If you change your display name, it is updated the next time you sign in to the information center. If you stop watching pages, you no longer receive notifications when a comment is added to that page. This change occurs immediately.
