Profile

Your own card, your own sign-in security, your own notification preferences and your own leave requests. Not a decision about the business — a decision about you.

Profile was carved out of Settings on 8 September 2026. Settings is gated on manager permissions for most of what it holds, and burying "change my password" at the bottom of a long business-setup list is how somebody concludes they can't change their password. Profile is one of the handful of areas Jobdeck never lets a business switch off, for exactly that reason — everybody can always reach their own card, their own sign-in security and their own leave.

The Your card screen: a profile photo, name and mobile number, job title and status line, and privacy switches for presence and read receipts.

Your card /my-card

What it's for
What the team sees when they look you up: your number, what you're called here, and what you're up to.
Controls
Three privacy switches, each saving itself the instant you flip it (no separate Save, so you can never believe you've turned one off and be wrong): Show when I'm in the app, Show when I was last in the app, and Show when I've read a message (the blue-tick read receipt, off by default). All three are symmetric — turn yours off and you stop seeing other people's too, and the read receipt only shows you theirs once they've turned on their own.
Buttons
Add a photo / Change photo / Remove (saves immediately, PNG or JPEG); Save on the name, mobile, job title and status form.
On the page
Your name and mobile (these follow you between businesses); your job title and a status line ("On the Rosebery job til 3") that's local to this business; the three privacy switches; and a Your account card linking to Sign-in security and Notifications.
Takes you to
Sign-in security, Notifications.
The Sign-in security screen: two-step sign-in status, a form to enrol a mobile number, and a list of trusted devices.

Sign-in security /security

What it's for
A code as well as a password when you sign in somewhere new — the single biggest thing you can do to stop somebody getting into your customer list and your bank details.
Your sign-in
Turn two-step on with a mobile number and your password; confirm the text or emailed code once. Turning it off also takes your password, as a check it's really you.
Devices you have trusted
A device you tick "trust this one" on stops asking for a code for a set number of days. Per-device Remove signs it out on the spot; sign out every other device is there for a lost or stolen phone.
Everyone in the business
Owner-only. Require it for everyone switches on two-step for the whole team — nobody is locked out by it, anyone with no number recorded is walked through adding one at their next sign-in.
The Notifications screen: grouped notification settings with per-channel switches and a sending-hours window.

Notifications /notifications

What it's for
Choose what Jobdeck tells you about, and how — app push, SMS or email. Nothing here changes what anybody else on your team gets.
Controls
A channel switch per notification type, grouped by topic; each switched-off row shows the one sentence saying what you'll stop hearing about.
On the page
Grouped notification settings, and a Sending hours card — a quiet-hours window (in your business's own time zone) that anything non-urgent is held until.

My leave /leave

What it's for
Ask for time off, and see where your own requests are up to. Nobody needs to switch anything on for you to use this — it's about you, not the business.
Controls
Leave type; a plain-English date field ("next Monday", or "Mon 15 Dec to Fri 19 Dec") checked with Check dates before you send it.
Buttons
Request leave outbound (it goes to whoever approves leave for you).
On the page
The request form, and a table of your own past and pending requests with their status.
