Profile and Settings

Teela gives you control over how your account looks, how you sign in, and how the app behaves. Your Profile covers your personal info, sign-in preferences, appearance, and security. Settings let you fine-tune how Teela displays query results and activity. Let's walk through everything.

Profile​

Your profile is where you manage your identity, sign-in method, visual preferences, and multi-factor authentication. You can access it by clicking your avatar or profile icon in the sidebar.

Personal Information​

This is the basics: who you are in Teela.

  • First name: Your given name. You can update this at any time.
  • Last name: Your surname. Also editable whenever you like.
  • Email: The email address associated with your account. This is read-only and can't be changed from the profile page.

Sign-In Method​

You can choose how you'd like to sign in to Teela. There are two options:

  • Verification email (magic link): This is the default. When you sign in, Teela sends a one-time link to your email. Click the link, and you're in. No password to remember.
  • Password: If you prefer a traditional password-based login, you can switch to this method. Once selected, you'll be able to set and manage your password directly from your profile.

If you switch to the password method, you can update or reset your password at any time from this same section.

Appearance​

Make Teela look the way you want. There are two parts to the appearance settings: your color palette (the overall theme) and your accent color (the highlight color used across the UI).

Color Palettes​

The color palette controls the overall color scheme of the app, including backgrounds, text, and borders. Teela offers five options:

  1. Dark (default): A dark background theme. Easy on the eyes, especially in low-light settings.
  2. Cocoa: A light palette with warm brown tones.
  3. Cloudy Day: A light palette with soft gray tones.
  4. Teal-a: A light palette with teal accents.
  5. Orange Peel: A light palette with orange accents.

Choosing any of the light palettes (Cocoa, Cloudy Day, Teal-a, or Orange Peel) automatically puts you into light mode, while selecting Dark gives you dark mode. Pick whichever feels right for how and where you work.

Accent Colors​

The accent color is the color Teela uses for buttons, links, highlights, and chart elements throughout the UI. You've got nine options to choose from:

  1. Teela Bright (default, #DC533F): A warm red that matches Teela's brand.
  2. Seagrass (#149D87): A teal green.
  3. Spring (#4AA91C): A bright, fresh green.
  4. Brass (#AB9419): A golden tone.
  5. Tangerine (#DE7711): A punchy orange.
  6. Crimson (#A82310): A deep red.
  7. Orchid (#AE26B0): A vivid purple.
  8. Amethyst (#7C5BC0): A soft lavender.
  9. Cobalt (#357ED2): A clean blue.

Your accent color does more than just style the app. It also updates the browser tab favicon to match, and it's used as a base for chart colors throughout Teela. So if you pick Cobalt, your charts will lean blue. Pick Spring, and they'll lean green. It's a nice way to make the app feel like yours.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)​

Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account. From this section, you can see whether MFA is currently enabled or disabled for your account.

Passkeys​

Teela supports passkeys (WebAuthn devices) as your second factor. You can:

  • Add a passkey: Register a new device, like a hardware security key, biometric reader, or platform authenticator.
  • View your registered passkeys: See a list of all passkeys on your account, including each one's name, the date it was added, and when it was last used.
  • Remove a passkey: Delete a passkey you no longer use. If you're removing your last passkey, Teela will warn you that doing so will disable MFA on your account.

Organization MFA Requirements​

If your organization requires MFA, you'll see a note about it in this section. A grace period countdown shows how long you have to set up MFA before it becomes mandatory. While the organization requirement is active, you won't be able to disable MFA on your account.

Settings​

Settings are accessed via the gear icon in the sidebar. These options control how Teela displays query results and activity as you work.

Show SQL​

Off by default. When you turn this on, Teela shows the generated SQL query in a collapsible panel below each result. This is great if you're learning SQL or if you want to verify that Teela interpreted your question the way you intended. You can also enable this on a per-result basis using the "Show SQL" button on any individual result (see Querying Your Data for more on that).

Show Audit Columns​

Off by default. Turning this on displays system columns like created_at, updated_at, and modified_by in your query results. These columns are normally hidden to keep your results clean and focused, but they can be useful when you need to know when a record was last changed or who changed it.

Show Activity​

On by default. This controls the Activity panel that appears on the right side of the chat interface. The Activity panel shows Teela's reasoning and work in progress as it processes your question. It's a nice way to see what's happening behind the scenes, and it can help you understand how Teela arrives at its answers.

If you find the panel distracting, you can turn it off entirely from here.

Autoclose​

This is a sub-setting under Show Activity. When enabled, the Activity panel automatically closes after a set number of seconds once Teela finishes processing. The default is 5 seconds, and you can set it anywhere from 1 to 3,600 seconds (that's one hour, if you really want to take your time reading it). This keeps the Activity panel informative without it sticking around longer than you need.
