In the DPS, the logged-in user can access its Profile and manage:

  • General information.

  • Security options.

  • Notification preferences.

The Profile page is accessible from the user menu that opens at the top right of the page.

The Profile page is structured into the following sections.

General

In the General tab, the user can edit its personal information, localization preferences, and optionally perform a logout or delete the profile.

Within the Preferences section the user can change the preferred language used to translate labels, and according to the language, also the format to be applied to dates, times and numbers.

If needed, the timezone used to format dates and times can be redefined.

Security

The Security tab permits to manage the user security, including password reset and 2FA (Two-factor Authentication) configuration.

By pressing the Reset Password button, an email with the reset link is sent to the user.
For more details about the Two-factor Authentication, refer to the Two-factor Authentication article.
Into this tab the user can have an overview of all devices used to access the DPS application, and optionally, they can force the logout from them.

Notifications

The Notifications tab permits configuring how the user must be notified upon an event occurred.

In addition to defining which event a user wants to be notified for, the user can turn the entire notification channels on or off.
To use the SMS notifications (if the SMS channel is enabled on the tenant) in the General section the mobile phone number must be provided.

Note that, SMS is a pay-per-use notification channel.

When a new user is created, the email channel is selected by default for the WARNING and CRITICAL alerts. If available, also the Push notification channel is enabled by default.

Unsubscribe from notifications

According to the GDPR users are able to unsubscribe from notifications by their selves.
The default e-mail templates used for notifications include the unsubscribeUrl placeholder that is automatically replaced by a link that, when clicked, allows the user to turn off all notifications.

By clicking the link, the user is redirected to a confirmation page.

 

 

When confirmed, the notifications are turned off.
Unsubscription also takes effect in case the email address is used within a property of type CONTACTS or in a thing Automation with a Notification action.

Reports

The Reports tab permits the DPS user to configure whether to receive periodic reports.

This tab is available only if there is at least one report defined and visible to the logged-in user.
