# Manage your notifications

Choose how Orbit MissionControl notifies you and use the organisation default whenever you have no personal choice.

Choose how you are notified. Without a setting of your own, the default for all users applies.

## Choose your notification settings

In Orbit MissionControl, open **Settings** → **Notifications** → **For Me**. Your personal notification table includes these notification types, with an **E-mail** or **Browser** control where that channel is supported:

* You were mentioned in a comment
* Someone replied to your comment
* Someone reacted to your comment
* A carrier or shipper commented
* A tender of yours is about to expire
* You were assigned a task
* A task of yours is due

Select the **E-mail** or **Browser** icon beside a notification to change how you receive it. The value shown for each channel is the effective setting. Some notification types do not support every channel.

## Use the organisation default

**Standard** means your personal settings follow the default for all users. When you change a channel for a notification, your choice applies to that notification type. Select **Reset** on its row to remove your personal choice and follow the default again.

If you can edit the defaults, open **Settings** → **Notifications** → **For All Users** to see the **Operator Users**, **Carrier Users** and **Shipper Users** tables. A personal choice takes precedence over those defaults for your account. Without a personal choice, a change to the default changes the effective value you see.

Some notification types in these tables have an information icon after their name. Hover over or focus it to read when Orbit sends the notification. For a notification about changes, it also tells you that changes made less than three minutes apart arrive as one email.

## Example

If your organisation enables email for comments from a carrier or shipper, you can switch that email off for yourself. Other operator users continue to follow the organisation default unless they make their own choice.

## Frequently asked questions

**Q: Does my choice affect other users?**

No. Your personal choice applies to your account. The defaults for all users are managed separately by administrators.

**Q: What does Standard mean?**

It means you are using the default for all users. Select **Reset** after making a personal choice to return that notification type to the default.

**Q: Can I choose email and browser separately?**

You can change each available channel. The personal choice is attached to the notification type, so resetting the row returns its available channels to the defaults.
