The Name, Title, and Email fields are the same ones that can be set under the respective user’s password.  Should the fields be grey and not accessible, then that means that the user does not have rights to change them as defined by their password settings.

Title is the position or title of the user such as “Office Manager” or “Designer.”

Account Management Email is the email associated with this user's log in to Design Manager. It is used when a password reset it requested.

 

The Default Email Message Text is used to set the body text of any email sent from Design Manager.

 

Font Size: The program defaults to a 9 point font size.  This font is for the visual setting of the program itself; it does NOT change the font on any documents.  There are 3 font size settings: Normal (9pt), Large (10pt), and Largest (11pt).

 

To increase the on screen font size choose the Change change font button button.  Select the font size you prefer and choose OK.
