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

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.
