How to Reset Your SLED User Profile to your Organization's SLED Profile
After initial onboarding, any updates your Account Admin makes to your Organization's profile will NOT reflect on your individual user profile. This is to ensure we don't overwrite important changes you've already made. But, you can reset your user profile to the latest Organization profile if you desire.
-
In the My Profile section of your SLED user profile, find and click the 3 dot menu

- Select "Reset Profile"

- A modal will open confirming that you want to update your user profile with your Organization's profile information.
-
- Note that this will basically copy over your current Organization's profile to your user profile and overwrite any updates you previously made to your user profile.
- If you are good to move forward with the updates, click "Update Profile"

- Review and make sure that the updates look good
- Click "Save Changes" to save the updates to your user profile

- If you prefer not to change your user profile, click "Cancel"

What is your Profile Used for?
Your individual user profile is used to customize your GovSpend experience. The main use of your profile is to drive the Opportunities module, allowing GovSpend to proactively identify relevant opportunities on your behalf. We also have the profile integrated within a couple of our AI features, including the AI chat panel in Bids/Meetings/Contracts and our Beta AI Search feature. Using your profile in combination with these features will give you more customized responses that are relevant to you.
Enhanced AI Chat Experience
Your user profile information is now used by default as context for responses generated by our AI chat in Bids, Contracts, and Meetings.
-
Use the menu within the chat input to toggle your profile information on or off during your chat experience

-
By default the "Profile" will be selected in order to give you more customized responses
- If you toggle "Profile" off from the main chat screen, that will persist until you toggle it on again.
- Access more customized prompts within the AI Prompt feature when your profile is in use
