Account Settings

Account Settings

The Account Settings dialog is where you view your sign-in details and adjust your notification preferences. It opens as a dialog over whatever page you are on, so you don’t lose your place.

How to open it: Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar, then choose Account Settings. There is no dedicated page for this — it is always a dialog.

The dialog has two sections, stacked top-to-bottom.

A card with these fields:

  • Username — read-only. Your sign-in name.
  • Email — your email address used for notifications.
  • First name / Last name — shown alongside your username in the application.
  • New password / Confirm new password — leave blank to keep your current password.

A collapsible card. Click the Notification Preferences header to expand it. These settings control which notifications OTS Signs sends to your account:

  • System notifications
  • Display status notifications
  • DataSet update notifications
  • Layout status notifications
  • Library item notifications
  • Report notifications
  • Schedule notifications
  • Custom notifications
  • Default media duration (seconds) — the default play time applied to new media items in the library, if no per-item duration is set. Defaults to 10 seconds.

Toggle the switches you want, then click Save Preferences. A toast confirms the change.

The theme toggle (light / dark) is not in this dialog. It lives in two places:

  • The top bar, next to the refresh icon.
  • The sidebar bottom, next to your avatar.

Your choice is saved per-browser and applied automatically next time you sign in.

Sign-out is also in the avatar menu in the sidebar bottom — click Sign Out. Your session is ended on the server and you are returned to the sign-in page.

If your organization manages sign-in outside OTS Signs, changes to your password, email, or display name are made through your organization’s account portal. Your administrator can point you to the right place.

  • My Access — see exactly which permissions and shared items apply to your account.
  • Help Mode — the ? toggle inside the dialog reveals inline help on every field.
