Creating a notification setting for a user
In addition to creating your own notification settings, as a Lumen Connect system administrator, you can create a notification setting to alert someone in your organization (even someone without access to Lumen Connect) 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:
- Using the left menu, click Alerts & Notifications.
Lumen Connect lists all your notifications. If you're a Lumen Connect system administrator, you see your notifications by default, but you can use the list to select another user in your organization to view their notifications.
- Click Notification Management.
Lumen Connect lists all notification settings set up for your organization.
- Click Add New Setting.
