Creating a notification setting for a user

Using Control Center, you can create a notification setting to alert someone in your organization to billing, repair ticket, and scheduled maintenance changes for billing accounts and/or services. After you create a notification setting, you can edit it to change their contact information or disable notifications. You can also delete a notification setting if you no longer want that person to receive notifications.

To create a notification setting for a user:

  1. Click Admin, then Notification Management.

    Control Center lists all notification settings set up for your organization. (To view your personal notification settings, click your username (in the upper-right corner) then click Notifications.)
