For each Workspace you are a member of, you can set the details of how other members of your teams identify you, your own people group details, and Activity shortcuts.
Picture, Initials, and Name
It is important for your teammates to be able to identify you as you use GAPP together to engage in the Great Commission. Your Picture, Initials, and Display Name will help others more easily add you to teams or add you as a contributor on an activity.
To set your Picture and Initials
From any page, select the profile icon, then “Settings.” The Details tab of the Settings page will open.
If you have not set up your picture yet, your initials will appear on a colored background.
To change your initials, click in the Initials box and edit the text. You can have a maximum of 3 characters.
To change the background color for your initials, click the color you want from the color picker.
To change your Display Name, select the Display Name box and edit the text.
To change your picture, click the circle.
A new box will open. Click “Select a photo”.
Your device will ask you where you want to look for photos and open the appropriate new window so you can search for the picture you want to use.
Select the picture you want to use, and click “Open” or “Upload” (depending on your operating system).
Drag the selection handles to change the part of the picture you want to appear in the circle
Click Upload
If you already have a picture and want to change it:
Click the circle.
A menu will appear with two options.
To change your picture, click the Change Photo.
A new box will open. Click “Select a photo”.
A new window will open to search through your pictures.
Select the picture you want to use and click “Open” or “Upload” (depending on your operating system).
Drag the selection handles to change the part of the picture you want to appear in the circle.
Click Upload.
To remove your photo and only display your initials, click Remove.
If you are finished making changes, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click “Save”.
About Me
GAPP is designed to help you as you engage in the Great Commission with the people groups around you. But you also have a people group identity.
All users of GAPP are asked to enter their own people group information (their country of citizenship or origin, their self-identified people group name, their primary language, and their other spoken languages). This information will be used to deliver back to GAPP users various scales of engagement showing whether that engagement of various people groups around the world is happening from same culture, near culture, or cross-cultural efforts. Consider: If someone else was sharing the gospel with you, what country would you want them to say you are from, language you speak, and people group you belong to?
Select your country of origin.
Select your primary spoken or signed language.
Select the people group you are a member of.
Select all other languages you speak or sign.

My Activity Shortcut Configuration
GAPP allows you to enter Activities that impact any people group. Typically, there will be certain people groups, languages, and religions that you normally interact with. The Activity Shortcuts allow you to set these as your shortcuts and defaults.
Select the People Group Shortcuts search box.
By default, this brings up the people groups that GAPP knows are near your location as indicated by the green location tag, but if the people group you are looking for is still not in the list, you can select the search box and type the name of each people group you are looking for and the location tag turns red to show it is not using your location.
To select a default people group, select the name of one of your shortcuts.
Select the Language Shortcuts search box.
By default, this brings up the languages that GAPP knows are near your location as indicated by the green location tag, but if the language you are looking for is still not in the list, you can select the search box and type the name of each language you are looking for and the location tag turns red to show it is not using your location.
To select a default language, select the name of one of your shortcuts.
Select the Religion Shortcuts search box.
By default, this brings up the religions that GAPP knows are near your location as indicated by the green location tag, but if the religion you are looking for is still not in the list, you can select the search box and type the name of each religion you are looking for and the location tag turns red to show it is not using your location.
To select a default religion, select the name of one of your shortcuts.
Select the My Country Shortcuts search box.
By default, this brings up the country that GAPP has determined based on your device as indicated by the green location tag, but if the country you are looking for is still selected, you can select the search box and type the name of each country and select the countries you are looking for.
To select a default country, select the name of one of your shortcuts
My People Groups Shortcut Configuration
Select the My Peoplegroups.org Shortcuts search box.
By default, this brings up a people group pick list based on peoplegroups.org. You can search by a name or a PEID identifier and select the people groups that you want to be shortcuts. These shortcuts will be used to populate the people name, language, religion, and country questions on activities.
Select the Joshuaproject.net Shortcuts search box.
By default, this brings up a people group pick list based on joshuaproject.net . You can search by a name or a PeopleID3 identifier and select the people groups that you want to be shortcuts. These shortcuts will be used to populate the people name, language, religion, and country questions on activities.
If you are finished making changes, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click “Save.”
My Location Shortcuts
GAPP makes it easy to select the location where an activity occurred, but there are certain situations when a user may want to frequently use the same location for their activities. You can use the Default Location setting to simplify the process for you.
To set your location:
If you are not on the Details page already, in the top section of the side panel, select “Settings.” The Details tab of the Settings page will open.
In the Activity Shortcut Configuration section, you will need to name the location, then you will find a place picker. Click on it, and a map window will open.
You can zoom and scroll or use the search box to type in and find the location you want to set as a shortcut location.
Click the point on the map that you want as save and name.
Click the “Continue” button.
If you are finished making changes, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click “Save”.
To remove a saved location:
If you are not on the Details page already, in the top section of the side panel, select “Settings.” The Details tab of the Settings page will open.
In the My Location section, click the red trash button.
Click Save.
