Navigating the Threshold app: Settings tab sections and topics

The Settings tab is where you can manage many of the core features that help personalize and maintain your experience in the Threshold app. From managing Residences and Circle of Care members to adjusting roles, reviewing invites, and customizing alert preferences, this tab acts as the central control hub for account-related and residence-level tools.

Visually, the Settings tab is represented by a gear icon and contains five different sections.  Within each section are interactive topics. Each topic leads to its own settings screen where you can view, adjust, or manage specific configurations. In this article, we’ll walk through each of the 5 main topics on the Settings tab:

• Personal

• Application

• Locations

• Current Residence

• Support

What you can do on the Settings tab:

• Add or manage people in your Circle of Care for each Residence

• Create, send, or review Invite Codes

• Update your Account Information and edit your Profile

• Set up or change Notification Preferences

• Access or adjust Reminders

• View legal or policy links under About Threshold

• Sign out or switch between multiple Residences

Each section below explains what you can do within that topic and how to use the available tools or options.
