Your account settings apply across all your sites. On the Account settings page (see below) you can review and edit the following:

You can change your password, amend your login details and the email that is used for login security Note that this email is not used for your regular communications (e.g. shift reminders): that needs to be changed under your Profile, above.

You can elect to have multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your login, and elect whether to use either SMS or a free third-party authenticator, such as Authy or Google Authenticator, for your second security device. Note that some sites require you to have MFA turned on, in which case you will not be able to disable it.

Set your timezone, and the default logout time.

Your logout time is the time between active uses of HosPortal on the same device. So if you set your logout time to be one hour, you will remain logged in for as long as you click a button on HosPortal once each hour on that device. Note that closing your HosPortal browser tab is the same as actively logging out, so you will always need to log in again after closing your browser.

HosPortal will automatically log out your account if the account is idle for longer than a specified idle logout time.

By default this time is 2 hours, but you can make it as long as 30 days - that is, as long s you use the application within 30 days of the last time you used it, you will stay logged in.

Use an iCal link to show your HosPortal calendar on other applications, such as Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook.

Note that the synchronisation frequency between HosPortal and your other application is not under the control of HosPortal. We are aware that some systems (like iOS devices) will allow you to set synchronisation frequencies as regularly as each hour or more. Our experience is that some other systems may take more than 24 hours to synchronise each time there is a change on HosPortal.

Note also that the synchronisation is only from HosPortal to your device. You cannot make changes on other software and have them appear on HosPortal.

If you do not have a digest setting, then any changes made to your activity on HosPortal will be communicated to you immediately.

You can use a digest to consolidate changes to your activity and send you this consolidated list of changes as an email. You will only get a digest if there have been any changes to your activity.

HosPortal's default is to set up users with two digests per day, typically at 07:00 and 19:00. This means that you will receive an email listing changes made in the last 12 hours, and only if there have been changes.

You can set up a digest over any date range, although we do not recommend less frequently than every few days even at your most slow-moving hospitals.

This is where you set your bank account settings for any invoicing activity on HosPortal. More information can be found under invoicing, here.
