Account

You reach your account settings from the topbar, via the icon with your initials. From that menu you switch between light/dark mode, open your user settings (/user/settings) and send feedback (/user/feedback). This page also explains how to recover your password if you can no longer log in.

User settings

The User settings page (/user/settings) consists of two stacked forms: updating your profile and changing your password. The page is available in every environment.

User settings with profile and password form

Two stacked forms: your profile at the top (name, time zone, date format, language), the password change below it. The dark-mode toggle sits in the same container.

  1. Profile formName, Time zone, Date format and Language.
  2. Update — saves your profile (PUT /user/profile-information).
  3. Password formCurrent password, New password (at least 12 characters) and Confirm password (must match).
  4. Change — saves the new password (PUT /user/password).
  5. Dark-mode toggle — switch light/dark mode within the container.

Update profile

Adjust the following fields and click Update:

FieldDescription
NameYour display name.
Time zoneDetermines how timestamps are displayed and which time zone is used when you schedule a trigger (see below).
Date formatHow dates are shown in the application; this is also stored in your session.
LanguageInterface language: en, nl or de.
Email address is not self-editable

The email address linked to your account is used for password recovery and as the reply-to for feedback. You cannot change this address yourself on this page: the settings screen (UserSettings) only contains name, timezone, date format and language. An email change goes through an administrator/invitation.

Change password

In the second form you change your password:

  1. Enter your current password.
  2. Enter a new password of at least 12 characters.
  3. Repeat the password under Confirm password (must match exactly).
  4. Click Change.

Time zone and timestamps

Your chosen time zone determines two things:

  • Display — timestamps in logs, monitoring and overviews are shown in your time zone.
  • Triggers — when you schedule a pipeline trigger, the specified time is interpreted in your account time zone.
Trigger time zone = your time zone, not UTC(+1)

The trigger scheduling screen shows the hint "Timezone UTC(+1) will be used". That does not match what actually happens: the backend uses the logged-in user's time zone (Auth::user()->timezone) and converts it to the matching Windows time zone. A trigger you schedule for 08:00 therefore runs at 08:00 in your account time zone — so set your time zone correctly here before creating triggers.

See Load management for creating and managing triggers.

Feedback

Send feedback directly from the frontend via Feedback (/user/feedback). The reply goes to the email address linked to your account.

Feedback is split into three categories:

  • Bug report — report problems with the application.
  • Feature request — request new or improved features.
  • Feedback — general feedback on Yres or on processes.
Feedback email address

Feedback from the three in-app categories goes to feedback@yres.app (from version 1.56; before that Feedback@iris-dwh.nl), with your account address as the reply-to.

Forgot and recover password

If you can no longer log in, use the recovery flow. It consists of two screens: requesting a recovery email (/forgot-password) and setting a new password via the link in that email (/reset-password/:token).

Forgot-password and reset screens side by side

Left: "Forgot password" with a single email field. Right: "Reset password" with email, new password and confirmation.

Step by step

  1. On the login screen, click "Forgot password?".
  2. On Forgot password (/forgot-password) enter your email address and click "Reset password". You see the message "Reset email sent if the account exists". Use "Sign in" to return to the login screen.
  3. Open the recovery email and click the link; it takes you to Reset password (/reset-password/:token).
  4. Enter your email, a new password (minimum 12, maximum 50 characters) and Confirm Password (must match).
  5. Click "Reset password". On success you are redirected back to the login screen.

note

For security reasons, the recovery-email message does not confirm whether the email address exists: you always get the same confirmation. The :token in the reset link is single-use and belongs to the requested recovery email.
