TOP Setting up your Profile
Sakai maintains a user profile for each participant. Your profile contains personal information such as your name, phone number, and office location. Unless you choose to hide it, the information in your profile is available to everyone in the system. The system also uses the information to personalize your discussion forum messages, announcements, and other shared items.
The Profile tool allows you to change information in your user profile. This tool is only available only in My Workspace.
Step 1: To access the Profile tool, click [Profile] in the tools menu on the left side of the screen. Sakai displays the home page.
