Managing Your LCS Account

To manage your LCS account, select My Account from the user menu in the Dockbar. This takes you to a UI with four tabs:

Projects: Displays your LCS projects in a searchable table that lists the administrator’s email address for each project.

Email Notifications: Configure LCS to send you emails when specific events occur in your LCS projects by adding rules that define what events trigger a notification. There are no rules by default. Click the Add Rule button to define one.

First specify the project, environment, and server for the notification. Note that you have the option of selecting all environments and servers in a project. Then check the checkbox for each event that you want to trigger an email notification. For example, if you create a notification rule with The server unexpectedly shuts down selected for all servers and environments in your project, then LCS sends you an email if any server in your project goes offline without a normal shut down event. Click Save when you’re done defining the notification rule. It then appears in a table along with other existing rules. Each has Edit and Delete Action buttons.

Notification History: Displays your web notification history in a searchable table. You can also select the date range from which to display notifications.

Preferences: Manage your LCS account’s preferences. You can change your account’s language, time zone, and default LCS project. Your default LCS project is the one shown each time you log in to LCS.

Using Web Notifications

LCS also displays web notifications under the bell icon in the Dockbar. A red badge on this icon shows your unread notification count. LCS and Liferay Support send these notifications. For example, LCS generates notifications when a server shuts down or some other event requiring your attention occurs. To mark a notification as read, click the small x icon next to it. To mark all notifications as read, click the Mark All as Read button. To mark notifications as unread again, click the Undo button that appears. To see your notification history, click the Notifications History button. You can also access your notification history by selecting My Account from the user menu in the Dockbar.
