Initial Setup of Your Account

Step 1

If you logged out of WRMD before setting up the specifics of your account, visit this page: https://www.wrmd.org/signin and log back in using the same user name and password that you registered with.

Step 2

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard page. This is always the first page you will see whenever you log in.

Step 3

To access your settings, you must click on the arrow next to your name in the top right corner. This arrow will open the drop down menu where you can access your settings. Click on the settings icon in this drop down menu.

Step 4

The settings page includes all of your account information and important features that you will need to set up so that you and your team can use WRMD effectively. First to note is the left sidebar with the three general categories Account, WRMD, and Extensions. 

• Account
  • Profile
    • timezone and date format: Make sure this is set up for your specific location and preference. 
    • language preferences: WRMD only supports English language for now, but we do have plans to become multilingual. 
    • Account Avatar: We recommend that you add a logo or icon of your organization as it makes identification easier when communicating on the forum.
