Setting Your Profile Preferences

Within HuskyBuy you can adjust your profile settings to set default accounting codes and shipping addresses for shopping; setup how you want to receive notifications, or if you want to receive them at all. Although it is not technically a profile setting, we will even show you how to setup a new Home page.

Process Steps

The Home page for all users is set to the Shopping Home page by default. To change that, navigate to the page you to set as default.
1. (Navigate to Shop > My Carts and Orders > View Carts.)

If the Phone Number is blank, please enter your phone number here.

The first time you login to HuskyBuy, your Email Address will be linked to your NetID (User Name).

Select Language, Time Zone and Display Settings on the left and fill out all of the pertinent information in this section. Click Save Changes when done.

Notice that you can reset your Home page to the default page here also.

2. Notification Preferences – shows your HuskyBuy notification preferences. You may update your notification preferences as desired.
3. User History – Here you can see all the changes you ever made to your user profile.

Setting Your Default Cart Assignee

At times you will want to have a specific person to assign your shopping carts to. You can either choose someone each time you assign a cart, or have HuskyBuy automatically select your default cart assignee.

To add a default Cart Assignee, click Default User Settings > Cart Assignees.
Click Add Assignee…
Search for the person you would like to assign carts to
Choose an action to either set them as the preferred assignee or to remove them.

Setting Your Default Shipping Address

To add a default shipping address, click Default User Settings > Default Addresses. Here you can add your shipping addresses or review/edit an existing address.
If this is your first time here, you might not have a Ship-To address yet. Click on “Select Addresses for Profile” to search for a new one.

Enter a search term for your address and click Search. It can be a department or any part of the address.
Select an address from the list and the information will populate as shown below.

The address is displayed and most of the fields are populated. Four of the fields can be changed.
1. Nickname: Can be changed if desired.
2. Default: This checkbox is automatically set for the first address added.
3. Attn: Your name is added by default but can be changed here.
4. Room: This displays as a required field but can be left blank in your profile. You have the option to add the room number here in your profile or add it on a per requisition basis.
  Click Save when done.

Repeat the above steps to add as many Ship-To addresses as you need. The other addresses will be available in the dropdown selection of the requisition.

Click on the address to see the details or to make edits.
1. Click the Default check-box for the one you will use most often.
2. Click the Save button to save your edits.
3. You can also delete addresses by selecting them and clicking on the Delete Address button.

If your address has changed, or it does not exist in HuskyBuy, you will not find it in your search.
1. New addresses can be added to HuskyBuy by filling out the Shipping Address Form on the Shopping Home page of HuskyBuy, located in the Internal Request Forms section.
2. Click on the Shipping Address Form, fill it out, and submit it.
3. You will be notified when it is in HuskyBuy.

Setting Your Default Accounting Code Favorites

If you will be using certain combinations of Account and Object Codes, click on Default User Settings > Custom Field and Accounting Code Defaults.

1. As you can see here, the accounting codes are added to this PR.
2. If we had saved multiple sets of codes, they could also be selected by clicking on the Pencil Edit button.

In the popup that appears, you can select from your list of code favorites here.
1. Move your cursor over this screen and you will see the heart icon appear for your favorites.
2. There is only one in this example, but others would be listed here if you created more favorites.
3. You can also change the Account number and Object Code directly, if you know what they are.

If you have a list of preferred codes set up for your department, you can access that list by clicking the arrow link, under the Account number and Object Codes.
1. Clicking the arrow will display a drop-down box with the preferred codes you have setup in your profile.

The next section will show you how to set up this preferred list of codes in your profile.

1. The selected account number(s) will be added to the box on the left side.

If there were multiple numbers in the search, you could select any or all of them to be added to the list.

Select the Default check-box. Click Save.

A popup message will appear if there were no problems. And Close the window. Notice the Remove button.
