The Invantive products ask once for the name, the e-mail address and the telephone number of the user, in the window "Personalize your salutation". The window states its own purpose: "Please inform us how we should address you." It appears on top of the log-on window and returns at the next start as long as the values are missing or refused. A product which runs on the console, such as [[Invantive Data Hub/Invantive Data Hub|Invantive Data Hub]], asks the same questions there.
The window asks for:
- "Email": the e-mail address. This one is asked first and in a window of its own, and only as long as it is unknown.
- "First Name" and "Last Name": the name as it is to appear in a salutation.
- "Phone Number": the number on which the user can be reached, including the area code or the country code.
- "Gender": "Male", "Female" or "Unspecified".
"Continue" stays unavailable until the values are acceptable. From release 27.0 onwards the reason appears as a hint next to the field concerned and on the tool tip of the button; up to and including release 26.0 the button was disabled without saying why. Refused are:
- a first name or a last name of less than two characters;
- a placeholder in place of a name, such as "test", "info" or "Doe";
- a telephone number of less than nine characters, or one holding characters other than digits, spaces, `+` and `-`;
- a dummy number such as "0123456789".
"Skip" closes the window without saving.
The values are held per user in `user.settings` and are therefore shared by all Invantive products and installations on the device; see [[User Settings]]. They are not part of a database definition and are not sent to a data container.
