Account & Preferences
Each user can manage their profile, notification preferences, and display settings from the account section of the portal.
For invitations, forgotten passwords, second-factor verification, and kiosk PINs, see Access & Sign-In.
Accessing Account Settings
Click your name or avatar in the portal sidebar, or go directly to Account.
The account section has three tabs: Profile, Preferences, and Security. Notification settings are found inside the Preferences tab.
Profile
The Profile tab shows your personal information — name, email, organisation, and role — as retrieved from the authentication provider.
To update your name or email, click Edit in provider. This opens the identity provider profile screen where you can make changes. Updates are reflected in Continual after your next sign-in.
Preferences
The Preferences tab controls display defaults for the portal.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Default factory | The factory pre-selected when you open factory-scoped views. Saves you from choosing each time. |
| Timezone | Your local timezone for displaying dates and times. Defaults to your browser's detected timezone. |
| Locale | Number and date format preferences. Options include English (US, AU, UK), Deutsch, and Français. |
Changes to preferences take effect immediately without a page reload.
Notifications
The Notifications section inside Preferences lets you control which events send you push notifications (mobile) and email alerts.
Available Notification Events
| Event | Push | |
|---|---|---|
| Check due | ✓ | ✓ |
| Action created | ✓ | ✓ |
| Action closed | — | ✓ |
| Action reopened | ✓ | ✓ |
| Daily compliance summary | — | ✓ |
| Weekly report | — | ✓ |
Toggle push and email independently for each event. Use the master mute switch at the top to silence all notifications without losing your individual settings.
Push Notifications
Push notifications are sent to the Continual mobile app on your device. To receive them:
- Install the mobile app.
- Sign in with the same account used in the portal.
- Accept the notification permission prompt when first opening the app.
If you decline the permission or change it in your device settings, push notifications will not arrive even if they are enabled here.
Email Notifications
Email notifications are sent to the address on your account. Check your spam folder if expected emails are not arriving.
Security
The Security tab lets you sign out of the portal and view the current application version.
To sign out:
- Go to
Account->Security. - Click
Sign out.
This signs you out of the portal session. On your next visit you will be prompted to sign in again.
