By the end of this article you'll be able to change the name and avatar shown for you in a workspace, and connect the LINE account that receives system notifications.

## Before you start

My Account only affects you, so **no permissions are needed**. Every member of a workspace can change it. Keep in mind that these settings **only apply to the current workspace**. Your name and avatar in other workspaces are changed separately.

The dashboard's language and time zone aren't here. They're account-wide settings behind the globe icon in the top-right corner of the **Workspace** list. See [Set your language and time zone](https://docs.oakmega.com/en/guide/getting-started/language-and-timezone.md).

## Change your name, avatar and LINE account

1. Click **Settings** at the bottom of the navigation bar, then click **My Account** under **Personal Settings**.

   The screenshot below shows the Personal Settings section of the Settings page. The first row is **My Account**, with your current name in small text below it. The second row is **Notification Settings**.

2. Under **Basic Information**, edit your **Name** (required, up to 20 characters). **Email** is the account you sign in with. It's shown here but can't be changed.

3. Optionally upload an **Avatar**. PNG, JPG and JPEG files up to 10 MB are accepted.

4. Under **Platform Information**, click **Select LINE account**, search for and select your own LINE account, then click **Confirm**.

5. Click **Save** in the top-right corner. When **Save successfully** appears, you're taken back to the Settings page.

The screenshot below shows the My Account page. **Basic Information** at the top lists Email, Name (with a character count of 11/20 on the right) and the avatar upload area. **Platform Information** at the bottom has My LINE account and the **Select LINE account** button. **Cancel** and **Save** are in the top-right corner.

This table lists what each field on the page is for and its limits:

| Field | What it's for | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| **Email** | The account you sign in to OakMega with | View Only; can't be changed here |
| **Name** | Shown inside the dashboard. When the matching Service Center setting is on, it's also the name on support messages sent to customers | Required, up to 20 characters |
| **Avatar** | Shown inside the dashboard. When the matching Service Center setting is on, it's also the avatar on support messages | Optional; PNG, JPG or JPEG, up to 10 MB |
| **My LINE account** | The LINE account that receives system notifications | Must be a friend of this workspace's LINE Official Account |

## How it works

### Why name and avatar belong to the workspace

The same person might handle customer service for brand A and marketing for brand B, and it's natural to go by a different name for each brand. So your name and avatar are stored separately in each workspace. Changing your name in workspace A doesn't change it in workspace B.

### What My LINE account is for

The interface describes it as "**Used to send system notifications to your LINE account**": once connected, messages the system needs to send you arrive in your own LINE. You can only choose from **friends of this workspace's LINE Official Account**, so add the official account as a friend with your own LINE first, or you won't find yourself in the search. This is separate from **Settings › Notification Settings**, which controls Service Center notifications in the OakMega app. See [Set up notifications](https://docs.oakmega.com/en/guide/settings/notification-setting.md).

## FAQ

### This field is required

**Name** is empty. The name can't be blank. Fill it in, then click **Save**.

### Text exceeds the maximum length

**Name** is longer than 20 characters. Shorten it to 20 or fewer and save again.

### I can't find my LINE account

You can only select friends of this workspace's LINE Official Account. Add the official account as a friend with your own LINE, then search by LINE name, LINE UID or real name. If you see **No matching search results**, try a different keyword.

### I don't want system notifications on LINE anymore

Under **My LINE account**, click **Disconnect**, confirm the dialog **Are you sure you want to disconnect your LINE account?**, then click **Save**. You can select your LINE account again at any time.

### I changed my name but left without saving

When you leave, you'll see **Are you sure you want to leave the account settings page?**. If you leave, your changes aren't kept. To keep them, stay on the page and click **Save**.
