Managing Your Settings and Preferences

Accessing Your Settings

To manage your personal settings and preferences, in the top-right corner of the platform click your name and select User settings, or navigate directly to /user-settings. The settings page is organized into several sections that let you customize your Theator experience.

Profile Information

The Profile section lets you view and update your basic account information:

• Name — Your display name as it appears across the platform
• Email address — The email associated with your account
• Specialty — Your surgical specialty, which helps Theator tailor content and analytics to your practice
• Profile photo — Upload or change your profile picture

Keep your profile information up to date so that colleagues can easily identify you when collaborating on cases.

Email Notification Preferences

The Notifications section controls which notifications you receive from Theator. It groups notifications into categories that you can turn on or off per channel:

• Department — Notifications relevant to your department
• Personal — Notifications relevant to your own surgical activities and cases
• Activities — Alerts for updates on platform activities and interactions
• Room Status — Notifications for updates on operating room status

Toggle each category on or off based on your preferences. You can always come back and adjust these settings as your needs change.

The Weekly Performance Recap is delivered separately and is controlled by your venue administrator, not by these toggles.

Recording Preferences

The Recording section lets you manage your personal recording policy:

• Opt-in or opt-out of automatic case recording
• Set your default preference for whether your cases should be recorded when you are the primary surgeon

Your recording preference is respected across all operating rooms where Theator is installed. For more details on recording policies, see the article on how to change your personal recording policy.

Features

The Features section lets you turn beta capabilities on or off for your account. Toggle a feature on to try it, then click Save beta features to apply your changes.

Beta features are experimental, so the options available to you may change over time.

Report Subscriptions

The Report Subscriptions section lists the recurring reports delivered to your email. For each subscription you can:

• See its schedule — how often the report is sent and when the next delivery is due
• Turn it on or off — use the toggle to pause or resume delivery without deleting the subscription
• Send a preview — click Send Preview to email yourself a copy of the report right away
• Delete — remove a subscription you no longer need

To create a new subscription, use the Room Analytics, Department Analytics, or Initiative pages. If you do not have any subscriptions yet, this section shows you where to set one up.

Tips

• Review your settings after onboarding to make sure everything is configured to your liking.
• Update your specialty if it changes, so your analytics and recommendations stay relevant.
• Check notification settings if you feel you are receiving too many or too few emails from Theator.
