# Account

Use the Account page to manage your personal login details and basic account preferences.

Account settings belong to your user login. Company settings, delivery locations, organization members, vendors, and inventory settings are managed in their own settings pages.

  <Step title="Open Settings">
    Go to **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Account">

## Account page layout

The Account page is arranged as cards.

| Card                    | What it controls                                                                       |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Profile                 | First name, last name, and email address                                               |
| Password                | Current password and new password                                                      |
| Language                | Preferred platform language                                                            |
| Order attachment format | Default file format attached to orders sent to vendors, shown only to owners or admins |

If your account is still loading, Mathership shows a loading spinner until your account details are available.

## Profile

The **Profile** card contains your personal account details.

It shows:

| Field      | Description                                 |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| First name | Your first name                             |
| Last name  | Your last name                              |
| Email      | Your login email address                    |
| User ID    | Your internal user ID, shown below the form |

The profile card is for your user account. It does not manage company contact details.

<Note>
  Company details such as business name, business address, phone number, notification email, and billing-related information are managed in company or organization settings.
</Note>

## Update your profile

  <Step title="Open Account">
    Go to **Settings** → **Account**.

## Email address

Your email address is used for:

The card contains:

| Field                | Description                      |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------- |

  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a new password">
    Enter and save your new password.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Language

Use the **Language** card to set your preferred platform language.

The selected language affects:

* Dashboard text
* Interface messages
* Emails you receive
* Password reset emails

* Order-related communication where language preferences are used

## Available languages

The Account page currently offers:

| Language  | Code |
| --------- | ---- |
| English   | `en` |
| Español   | `es` |
| Deutsch   | `de` |
| Français  | `fr` |
| Italiano  | `it` |

## Change language

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Account">
    Go to **Settings** → **Account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Language">
    Find the **Language** card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a language">
    Choose your preferred language from the dropdown.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The change is saved immediately.

If saving fails, Mathership restores the previous language selection.

## Order attachment format

The **Order attachment format** card controls the file format attached to orders sent to vendors from the selected company.

This is a company-level default, not only a personal preference.

The card is only visible if you are allowed to manage company defaults, such as when you are an owner or admin.

| Option | Meaning                          |
| ------ | -------------------------------- |
| PDF    | Orders are attached as PDF files |
| CSV    | Orders are attached as CSV files |

## Change order attachment format

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Account">
    Go to **Settings** → **Account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find Order attachment format">
    The card is shown only if your access level allows it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose PDF or CSV">
    Select the desired attachment format.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check confirmation">
    Mathership shows **Saved.** when the update succeeds.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If you do not see this card, your account probably does not have owner or admin access for the selected company.
</Note>

## Email verification

After registration, you may need to verify your email address.

Mathership sends a verification email with a verification link.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the verification email">
    Find the verification email sent by Mathership.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click the verification link">
    Open the link while it is still valid.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log in">
    After verification, log in with your email and password.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If your account is not activated, login may be blocked until the email address is verified.

## Account setup from invitation

If another company or vendor invites you, you may receive an account setup or password setup email.

Use the link in the email to set your password and activate access.

The link must be valid when you use it. If it has expired, ask the inviting organization or vendor to send a new invitation or setup email.

## Account access

Your account role and company access determine which areas you can use.

Common account roles include:

| Role     | Typical access                                                                          |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Customer | Restaurant-side ordering, inventory, reports, delivery locations, vendors, and settings |
| Vendor   | Vendor-side products, customers, orders, routes, and reports                            |

Within a customer organization, owners, admins, and members may have different access rights.

Some settings pages and cards only appear when your account has the required access.

## What is managed elsewhere

The Account page does not manage every setting.

| Setting area                            | Where to manage it                                        |

| Vendor relationships                    | Manage vendors                                            |
| Organization members and permissions    | Organization settings                                     |
