Setting date and time

All your activity in the Bright app, scan runs and details are time-bound. That is why to ensure proper management of the activity log and scans history, you need to verify the date and time settings.

The current date and time are shown at the top of the DATE SETTINGS section. To change the time and date formats, follow these steps:

1. From the Time Zone dropdown list, select your time zone.
2. From the Date Format dropdown list, select the format for date indication.
3. Select the first day of the week and the time format using the relative buttons.

Setting your notification preferences

You can define the events related to a certain object type that will be posted in your feed (activity log). Bright also allows you to select the types of events you will be notified about via email as well as to deny some specific warnings.

To enable or disable such event notifications, you simply need to select or clear the relative check boxes in the FEED SETTINGS, EMAIL NOTIFICATION SETTINGS and CONSENTS sections. After you complete the selection, click Save.
