06. Profile

Your Profile page holds who you are as far as TAMEDA is concerned: your contact details, the parts of your employment record you are allowed to see, your insurance and tax numbers, your documents, your avatar and your password.

6.1Overview

A header card, then three panels:

1
The profile header, avatar, name, username, email, terminal PIN, the Edit Profile and Change password buttons, and a band of employment tiles (7.3).
2
Personal Information
the wide panel on the left. The only part of the page you can edit (7.4).
3
Insurance & Tax
read-only, with your sensitive numbers masked (7.5).
4
Documents
your files (7.6).

A blue note sits at the top: Note, “Click the Edit Profile button to make changes to your personal information.” Close it with the ×; it comes back next time you open the page.

6.1.1How to get here

Profile is not in the sidebar. Open it from the account menu in the top bar, click your avatar, then Profile. See 1.2.2.

6.2What you can and cannot change

Most of this page is read-only by design.
You can change your first and last name, date of birth, phone number, address, avatar, terminal PIN and password, and you can add and remove documents. Everything else, username, email, employee ID, employment type, start date, weekly hours, insurance and tax details, belongs to your employer and can only be changed by an admin.

Fields you cannot change are shown greyed out rather than hidden, so you can still read them and check they are right. If one is wrong, tell your manager, there is nothing you can do about it here.

6.3The profile header

6.3.1Your identity line

Underneath your name sits a single row of details, separated by dividers:

1
@username
how you sign in.
2
Your email, behind an envelope icon, as a link that opens your mail app.
3
Your company’s customer number and your terminal ID, behind a screen icon, written as customer number – terminal ID. Only shown if your company uses a shared clock terminal.
4
Your terminal PIN, behind a key icon (7.3.3).

A small green dot on the avatar means your account is active. While you are editing, an amber (Editing) label appears beside your name.

6.3.2The employment tiles

A band across the bottom of the header shows:

1
Employee ID
always shown.
2
Employment Type
, Start Date and Weekly Hours, only where your employer has chosen to share contract details with employees.

If they have not, you see the single Employee ID tile, centred, and nothing is missing or broken. A shared field with nothing in it reads N/A.

6.3.3Your terminal PIN

If your company clocks in at a shared terminal, you have a four-digit PIN. It sits in the identity row behind a key icon, masked as ••••.

  1. 1

    The eye shows or hides the PIN. It stays revealed only until you hide it or leave the page.

  2. 2

    The pencil opens a small field. Type four digits and click the tick to save, or the × to abandon it.

It must be exactly four digits, anything else gives “PIN must be exactly 4 digits”, and a failure to save gives “Failed to save PIN”. The change takes effect at the terminal immediately, so do not change it mid-shift unless you mean to.

The PIN is not your password.
The PIN gets you into the clock terminal; the password gets you into TAMEDA. Changing one does nothing to the other.

6.3.4How to change your avatar

  1. 1

    Click Edit Profile to enter edit mode. A pencil appears over your avatar.

  2. 2

    Click the avatar. A dialog opens with two tabs.

  3. 3

    Choose Avatar offers a grid of ready-made pictures. Upload takes your own image, JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB.

  4. 4

    Click Save. It stays disabled until you actually pick something.

Remove at the bottom left clears your picture and puts your initials back; it only appears when you have one set. Cancel closes without changing anything.

The avatar saves on its own.
It is not part of the form: saving it writes immediately and then closes edit mode. If you were part-way through editing your details when you changed it, check them again afterwards.

6.4Personal Information

6.4.1The fields

1
First Name
and Last Name, editable.
2
Username
and Email, permanently read-only, even in edit mode.
3
Date of Birth
type it as dd.mm.yyyy or pick it from the calendar. A date in the future is refused: the field turns red and springs back to what it had.
4
Phone Number
editable, in any format.
5
The address block, Street, then the house number, then Postal Code, City and Country.
The field labelled “Address” is the house number.
It sits to the right of Street and its placeholder reads No., put the number there, not the whole address.

6.4.2How to edit and save

  1. 1

    Click Edit Profile in the header. Your name gains an amber (Editing) label and the editable fields come alive. The Edit Profile and Change password buttons disappear while you are editing.

  2. 2

    Change what you need. A bar appears fixed to the bottom of the screen reading Editing profile, with Cancel and Save Changes.

  3. 3

    Click Save Changes. The page is covered while it saves, then a green Success, Profile updated successfully box appears at the top and edit mode closes.

A blue Last updated box then keeps the time of the change on screen until you close it with its ×.

6.4.3Cancelling

Cancel with nothing changed simply leaves edit mode. With unsaved changes it asks first, Unsaved Changes, “You have unsaved changes. Do you really want to continue?”, and Discard Changes restores your original values exactly.

Only the personal-information fields count as changes. The avatar, your documents and your PIN save on their own, so they are never waiting in this bar.

6.5Insurance & Tax

A read-only panel with four fields: Health Insurance, Insurance Number, Tax ID and Tax Class. None of them can be edited here, in edit mode or out of it, they are payroll data your employer maintains.

6.5.1The masked numbers

Insurance Number and Tax ID are treated as sensitive. They show as •••••••• with an eye on the right:

  1. 1

    Click the eye. It becomes a spinner for a moment, the real value is fetched from the server, not held in the page, then the number appears, in a monospaced font.

  2. 2

    Click it again to hide it. It also hides itself again when you leave the page.

Where nothing is stored, the field is simply empty, no mask, no eye. If the reveal fails, the error is shown on the field itself.

Note
revealing one of these numbers is written to an audit log. That is normal and expected for your own data; it exists so that access to sensitive fields can be accounted for.

6.6Documents

The Documents panel holds files attached to your record. Underneath the heading it says Visible to employer • N files, anything here can be seen by your employer, so treat it as shared, not private.

6.6.1How to upload

  1. 1

    Click Upload and choose the file. There is no drag-and-drop here.

  2. 2

    It uploads straight away, there is no separate save, and no edit mode needed, and the button reads Uploading… while it goes.

Accepted: PDF, JPG, PNG, DOC, DOCX, XLS and XLSX, up to 10 MB each. A file that is too big gives “File size exceeds 10MB limit.”, and an unsupported one gives an invalid-type message.

6.6.2The list

Each row shows the document’s title (or its filename), with the upload date and size underneath, and two buttons:

1
The purple download arrow, saves a copy to your computer.
2
The red ×, removes it. A plain browser prompt asks “Are you sure you want to delete this document?” first. It looks different from TAMEDA’s own dialogs because it comes from your browser; it cannot be undone.

A long list scrolls inside the panel rather than stretching the page. At the bottom, a summary line counts the documents and totals their size. An empty panel reads No documents uploaded. with “Click ‘Upload’ to add files”.

tameda.de/employee/profile
Each document can be downloaded or removed.employee/profile/6.6.2.png
Note
documents your employer uploaded about you can appear here too. The Settings page lists the same files and can add to them, but only this page can delete one that is already saved, see 8.5.

6.7Changing your password

  1. 1

    Click Change password in the header. The dialog explains itself: “Enter your current password, then choose a new one.”

  2. 2

    Fill in Current password, New password and Confirm new password. Each field has an eye to show what you have typed.

  3. 3

    Click Update password.

6.7.1What the new password must be

At least 8 characters, with at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter and one number. It must also be different from your current password. The dialog checks as you type and tells you where you stand, Password is valid, Passwords match, Passwords do not match, and Update password stays out of reach until all three fields are filled.

You will be signed out.
Changing your password invalidates the session you are using, so after the confirmation TAMEDA signs you out and returns you to the sign-in page. Have the new password to hand before you start, and expect to sign in again on your other devices too.

6.7.2If the current password is wrong

You get “Current password is incorrect”, and the attempts are counted. After too many, TAMEDA stops accepting them altogether:

“Current password is incorrect. You have reached the maximum number of allowed attempts. For your security, you will be signed out. Please use the forgot password link to reset your password.”

You are then signed out and sent to the password-reset page. If you are not sure of your current password, use Forgot password from the sign-in screen rather than guessing here.

6.8If something in this guide is missing from your screen

1
Only one employment tile
your employer has not shared contract details with employees. Not a fault (7.3.2).
2
No terminal ID or PIN
your company does not use a shared clock terminal.
3
Insurance & Tax fields all empty
nothing has been entered on your record yet. Ask your manager if it should have been.
4
No eye beside a masked field
there is no value stored for it.
5
The Edit Profile button has vanished
you are already in edit mode. Save or cancel from the bar at the bottom.
6
Save Changes does nothing
nothing has actually changed. The bar only acts on personal-information fields.
7
Username or email greyed out even in edit mode
correct, and deliberate. Only an admin can change those.
8
Your avatar upload is refused
it must be JPEG, PNG or WebP and under 5 MB. Documents have their own, different limits (7.6.1).

None of these are faults. If something on this page is wrong rather than missing, your manager or an admin has to correct it, you cannot.
