In user language: manage your login identity, how you appear in Contacts, and Web UI preferences. You can use this without selecting a workspace.
This is not Agents → Memory → About me: that is one workspace agent’s picture of you (memory across conversations), not account settings. See Agent memory.
Cadau’s interface can be Chinese or English. The help agent answers in your interface language. Set interface language under Account → Preferences.
How to open
- Top-bar Feature menu (grid icon) → Account.
- Or top-bar account menu → Account.
- Or click
Go to Accountin a help answer.
Still available with no workspace selected, like Messages, Contacts, and Workspace collaboration.
Page sections (Web)
Left: four tabs — Profile / Account & security / Preferences / About. Right: the matching content.
Profile
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Avatar | Optional preset, or upload a photo (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, one file ≤ 5MB). You can restore the default icon. |
| Display name | Shown in workspace member lists, Contacts conversations, and similar. Empty shows the bound phone or email. |
| Contact ID | A user number (UUID). When adding a friend or starting a direct chat, send the number; you can also tap Copy. See Contacts. |
Account & security
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sign-in method | Phone or email bound at registration, used for login and codes (shown masked). |
| Login password | If a password is set, tap Change password: send a code to the bound phone or email, then set a new password. If the account has neither phone nor email bound, you cannot change the password online — contact an admin. |
| Sign out | Sign out promptly on a shared computer. |
General login and codes: New user guide: login, theme, and account.
Preferences
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Interface language | Chinese or English. The whole Cadau UI follows this choice. The help agent answers in the same language. Stored on this device; still applies next login. |
| Time display | Time zone (default Beijing time) and clock (24-hour / 12-hour AM·PM). Messages, notifications, tickets, scheduled-task notes, and other on-screen times convert with this; storage stays in a single standard time. Each user has their own setting. |
| Interface theme | Light, Dark, or Follow system; stored on this device. The top-bar theme icon (sun / moon / display) cycles quickly and stays in sync with this setting. |
| Default page after login | Messages or Apps. Stored on this device. New registrations still open Messages first so you can learn the product. If you chose Apps but no workspace is selected, you still land in Messages. |
| Chat font size | Size of the conversation list and bubbles in Messages (five steps from extra small to extra large). |
| In-chat file preview | How files from you or the assistant appear: Show preview (auto-expand in the bubble), Collapsed by default (load only after “Expand preview”), No embed (download and fullscreen only), View on the right (when there are results, collapse the feature menu and preview to the right of the conversation; the conversation list collapses with it by default, pin it to stop auto open/close; several results use previous/next, or tap a file name; default is the latest). This preference is the default; when this conversation already has files, a preview location icon appears in the composer — tap to switch bubble vs right, in sync with this setting. |
| Top menu | Expand menus on hover: on devices with a mouse, hovering a top-bar button opens the submenu; off means click. Tablets and phones always click; this switch does not apply. |
“What time is it now” in assistant chat prefers your account’s display time zone (see Agent operating rules).
About
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Product notes | Product name and short intro. |
| Website | Opens www.caretop.com or www.cadau.top for product intro, docs, and community. |
| Version and connection | UI version and connection status to the server (helps diagnose “cannot connect”). |
| Release notes | Recent features and fixes by version (same source as About). |
| Help | Ask the help agent in Messages; with a workspace selected, modules also have an action-assistant entry. |
Mobile (App)
The Account tab overlaps Web but is not identical:
- Profile: nickname, note (visible when a colleague adds you, up to 120 characters), avatar.
- Contact ID: shows the user number; prefer My contact QR code so the other person can scan without typing the number.
- Agents and skills: shortcuts to My agents, Discover agents, Skills Center (workspace required).
- Time display: time zone and 12/24-hour clock (same account preference as Web).
- Theme: Light / Dark / Follow system.
- Sign out.
Change password, chat font size, file preview, default page after login, top-bar hover menus, About and release notes are on Web. If the mobile app has no online password change or About page, use Web or contact an admin.
vs the top-bar account menu
| Entry | Best for |
|---|---|
| Top-bar account menu | Quickly see identity, switch theme, Sign out |
| Account module | Full profile edit, password, copy user number, fine Preferences (including interface language) |
Changing theme in either place has the same effect.
Common issues
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Colleagues cannot find me | Copy the user number under Contact ID, or show the contact QR code (mobile) |
| Display name is wrong | Save Display name in Profile; empty shows phone/email |
| No password-change code | Confirm the bound phone/email works; the company environment may lack SMS/email gateway — see Login troubleshooting |
| Want to change how files preview in chat | When this conversation already has files, tap preview location in the composer; fine-tune expand behavior at Account → Preferences → In-chat file preview |
| Message times are not my local zone | Account → Preferences → Time display (default Beijing time, changeable) |
| Want the UI in English or Chinese | Account → Preferences → Interface language |
| Want recent product changes | Web → Account → About → Release notes |
| The assistant does not remember my preferences | That is agent memory, not account settings; see Agent memory |
| Agents menu is gray | Select a workspace first; Account itself does not need a workspace |
