User preferences provide basic contact information so iSteelAsia.com can route all appropriate offers to sell and inquiries to buy to you. They allow you to change your basic account information (name, phone number, fax number, email address) that you provided during registration and your preferences for which emails you wish to receive from iSteelAsia.com. You can also select either English or Chinese as the language of these e-mails. User preferences are available to every user registered on a company account, such as a Primary Account User or an Associate Account User.

Trading preferences are set for Buying and Selling and will affect which types of offers and inquiries you receive and who receives the offers and inquires you submit. When you determine your trading preferences you specify the nature of business and location of your company and what type of steel you are interested in buying and selling.

News preferences allow you to select which news feeds you will see on your customized News page, which is available by clicking News from your Trading Center. News preferences are available to every user registered on a company account, such as a Primary Account User or an Associate Account User.

Company account preferences allow you to change the basic company information (company name, address, details about your business) that you provided at registration and to maintain Associate User Accounts for your company.
