*Your username and temporary password

<div><div style="float:left;width:68%;">
You can choose your language preference to navigate through ICM.&nbsp;You can also link multiple values of an Attribute as an Alias of each other. It can be done through Alias Master which will be a default master in ICM. This functionality helps you to get a consolidated search result on searching any of the linked alias values, instead of creating separate searches for each of these linked values and aggregating them.

From user Settings, if you change the language preferences then the localized value will be reflected in the Alias Master.

To view the settings:

1. '''Click'''''&nbsp;Preferences.'''''&nbsp;'''The ''My Preferences'' window opens.
