Settings & Preferences
Settings let you personalise how MyPlot works for you — your display name, your preferred unit system, and your household.
Profile settings
Available at Settings → Profile. You can update:
  • Display name — shown in the sidebar and activity logs
  • Email address — your login email
  • Password — change your password via the reset flow
  • Unit system — metric or imperial (see below)
Switching units (metric / imperial)
  1. Go to Settings → Profile.
  2. Under Unit system, select Metric (°C, mm, kg) or Imperial (°F, in, lb).
  3. Save — all measurements throughout the app update immediately.

Default property
If you have more than one property (for example, a home garden and an allotment), you can set a default — the property that loads automatically on the dashboard when no active selection is remembered from your browser session.
  1. Go to Settings → Profile.
  2. Under Default property, select the property you use most.
  3. Click Save.

Session cookie present

  • App uses the property from your last session
  • Your default property setting is ignored
  • Switch anytime via the property switcher in the top bar

No session cookie

  • Default property setting takes effect
  • Applies on a new browser, new device, or after inactivity
  • Set your preferred default under Settings → Profile
The active property is remembered per browser session via a cookie. The default property only takes effect when no session cookie is present — for example, when you open the app in a new browser, on a new device, or after a long period of inactivity.

To switch properties during a session, use the property switcher in the top bar. This overrides the default for that session.
Household settings
Available at Settings → Household. Manage household members, invite new members, and view your household name. See Household & Sharing for details.
