Pages can be setup to auto login to allow quick access to the notifier feature. The account used for the login is pre-configured and the user only needs to enter the password. A different account can be defined per page. To disable auto login, remove the page from this list. The default value defines the following 2 pages:
ucx_notifier.settings.login_defaults | Default account | New account |
---|---|---|
/notifier
|
[email protected] | |
/notifier/monitor
|
[email protected] |
The Alt Mode is intended to help with initial setup and testing and should be disabled when the application is in production. There may be more groups defined in the Notifier Admin page than what is provisioned in the configuration file. When Alt Mode is enabled, the Alt link will be available in the menu bar. Clicking on the Alt link brings up the Notifier page that allows notification to all defined groups.
ucx_notifier.settings | Default Value | New Value |
