Preferences
The Preferences page enables you to change your password, user settings, and time zone settings.
To access the Preferences page from the navigation bar, click the Administration menu and select My Preferences. You can also click your <user name> next to the Logout button.
Perform the following steps to manage your preferences.
Change Password
- In the Old Password field, enter your current password.
- In the New Password field, enter your new password.
- In the Confirm Password field, enter your new password a second time.
User Settings
- In the Given name field, enter the name to display next to the word Welcome on the Welcome Dashboard.
- In the Surname field, enter the surname to appear next to the given name on the navigation bar.
- In the Email Address field, enter the email address to which SevOne NMS sends you alerts and reports.
- Select the Admin notifications check box to subscribe to email receipt of Admin Notifications.
User Time
- Click the Date Format drop-down and select the date format to use by default.
- Click the Time Zone drop-down and select a time zone. This is the time zone that appears as the default for the graphs and reports you create. If a time zone does not appear in the list, you can add time zones on the Cluster Manager > Cluster Settings tab.
- Select the Startup Check check box if you want SevOne NMS to verify that the time zone for the application is the same as the time zone for the browser.
- Click the Week starts on drop-down and select the start day of the week. Options are
Saturday, Sunday, Monday, or Default to Cluster Settings (where it picks the day set in Cluster
Manager > Cluster Settings > General subtab). Note: The value set in Cluster Manager > Cluster Settings > General > Week starts on field overwrites any user specified setting when reports are mailed. For example,
Cluster Manager > Cluster Settings > General > Week starts on is set to Sunday.
Administration > My Preferences > Week starts on is set to Monday.
When reports are mailed, it will choose the day set in Cluster Manager (Sunday as shown in this example) as the week's start day.
Localization
- Click the Language drop-down and select a language. This option appears when you select the Enable Localization check box on the Cluster Manager > Cluster Settings > General subtab. Localization is a work in progress beta feature.
- Click Save.
