4.2 Editing your information

My Profile provides an editing page that you can switch to when you want to make changes.

Note that some values may not be editable (maybe even all of them). These values appear on the editing page as read-only text or as links. If you have questions about what you’re authorized to edit, consult your system administrator.

To edit your information:

Click the Edit Your Information link at the top of the My Profile page.
When the editing page displays, make your changes as needed.

When you’re done editing, click Save Changes, then Return.

4.2.1 Hiding information

Hiding a piece of your information hides it from everyone using the Identity Manager user interface, except you and the system administrator.

To hide a piece of information:

On the editing page, find an item that you want to hide.
Select the Hide check box to the left of that item.

NOTE:The Hide check box may be disabled for some items so you can’t select it. It’s up to the system administrator to enable this feature for specific items.

4.2.2 Using the editing buttons

The editing page provides several buttons you can use while making changes:

Button	What it does
	Looks up a value to use in an entry
	Displays a History list of values used in an entry
	Displays a Calendar to pick a time to use in an entry (in date-time or date-only format)
	Resets the value of an entry
	Adds a new entry
	Deletes an existing entry and its value
	Lets you edit (specify and display) an image

The following procedures tell you more about using some of these editing buttons.

2. In the textbox next to the dropdown, type all or part of the name to search for.
  
  The search will find every name that begins with the text you type. It is not case-sensitive. You can optionally use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard in your text to represent zero or more of any character.
  
  For instance, all of the following examples will find the first name Chip:
```
