Switching Profiles – Desktop View

Procedure 1

1. When you log into KLIPS 2.0 for the first time after a second user profile has been added, you will be asked to choose the profile you want to use immediately after Log In.

Please note: The procedures described in this chapter use the two user profiles “Staff” and “Students”. The "Basic Account" and "Students" variant works in the same way. Never use your basic account if you already have a student account.

View of Choose Profile page. The Staff and Students options described above, as well as the check box for the Do not show this page again option, as discussed below, are highlighted.

2. If you tick the box to the left of Don’t Show this Page Again below the two profile options, KLIPS 2.0 will always open with the last selected profile for future log-ins.

3. If you do not tick the box, this page will be displayed each time you log in and you must use this procedure to select the desired profile.

4. You can also readjust this according to your needs in the Personal Settings: For example, you can also reselect that the page in the screenshot above should be displayed to you every time you log in, if you previously checked the Don’t Show this Page Again box. You can find out how to do this here.

5. Select the desired profile by clicking on the applicable button. The display changes to your personal Home Screen.
