# 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.

## 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.
