My user in My Capitech

Under My user in My Capitech, you can find information and settings for your user account. You can view your profile information, change settings, change your password, register your children if the feature is enabled, and choose what you want to see in the calendar.

My profile

Under the tab My user and My profile, you can see the information registered for you.

This may include:

name
address
phone number
other contact information

If the information needs to be updated, you can send a message to your manager or the person responsible at your organization.

If your organization uses Simployer as its HR system, you may need to make the changes directly in Simployer.

My settings

Under the tab My user and My settings , you can customize how My Capitech works for you.

Language

Here, you can select the language you want to use in My Capitech.

You can choose between:

Norwegian
English

Here, you can choose which page opens when you log in.

You can choose:

Dashboard - shows an overview of the current month and your balances
Registration - opens the current day so you can quickly register hours

Use time picker

Here, you can choose whether to use your device’s time picker when registering hours.

If you enable this option, My Capitech uses the iOS or Android time picker when you register time on a mobile device or tablet.

Change password

Under Change password, you can change your password if you use a password directly in My Capitech.

This option is usually not shown if you log in with a user account from, for example:

Children

Under My user and the tab Children, you can register your children if your organization has enabled this feature.

To add a child:

Go to My user.
Open the Children tab.
Select New child at the top of the page.
Enter the child’s name, date of birth, and relevant details.
Save.

The Children tab is only shown if the feature has been enabled for your company.

Home office

If your organization uses geolocation to register locations automatically, you can create your home office locations under Home office.

These locations are used to set the location to home office automatically when you work at one of your personal home office locations.

See the article Registrer time at home office in My Capitech, for further information about how to set this up.

Plan

Under My user and the tab Plan, you can choose which available duties you want to see in the calendar if your organization uses the planning module.

This is relevant if your organization publishes available duties that employees can request to be assigned.

For example, you can select:

the types of duties you want to see

Your selections under Plan affect what you see in the My Capitech calendar.

Why isn’t home office added automatically when I register time on my home PC, even though it works on my mobile device?

When you use a PC or another device without GPS, the browser may provide My Capitech with a less accurate or incorrect location. This may prevent My Capitech from matching your position with your home office location when you use a PC or another device that relies on Wi-Fi for location data.

One solution is to:

create a home-office location on your mobile device and name it, for example, Home office mobile
create a home-office location on your PC and name it Home office Wi-Fi

This is a quick and simple way to resolve the issue.

You can also search for instructions on how to correct the location associated with your Wi-Fi network for the relevant browser or service.
