Review read-only settings

Settings in the following sections are read-only and cannot be updated by individual CMS users:

Azure settings
General

Only Microsoft Azure admin can update these settings.

NOTE: To request an update (for example, if your name includes a typo), contact Pangea Customer Care.

The remaining sections in this article describe the settings that can be updated by individual CMS users.

Enable search results in English

IMPORTANT: If you enable or disable Enable search results in English, the change is not applied until you hit Save, log out of CMS, and then log back in. For details, go to Save and apply changes.

Every Category for your site has an alternative English title that is visible only in CMS. The purpose is to help CMS users who don't speak the local language for a site, but need to navigate the Categories list or search for a particular Category.

Under User preferences, tick Enable Search in English to ensure you always see the English title for Categories in CMS.

This applies whenever you see Category names in CMS, for example:

In the search filters.
In the General settings for a content item.

Manage notifications

IMPORTANT: Any changes you make in the Notifications settings are not applied until you hit Save, log out of CMS, and then log back in. For details, go to Save and apply changes.

Under Notifications, control when you receive notifications from CMS and how you are notified.

Two notification methods are available:

(A): Pangea message: A notification in the top-right corner of CMS.
(B): Email: An email notification sent to email address listed in your user account.

Select a notification method (Pangea message or Email). Then, tick the box next to each event that you want to be notified about using the selected method.

Notifications are available for the following events:

My audio/video is processed
Recorded audio/video is processed
Activity report is ready
Video is published
My video is distributed

NOTE: If you have access to multiple sites, you are notified about items that you upload to any site.

Recorded audio/video is processed

You are notified as soon as any video or broadcast program that was recorded via Scheduler & Template week is processed and ready to use.

NOTE: To be notified about published videos on other sites, you need to open your user account on each individual site and enable this setting.

My video is distributed

You are notified about the status of your requests for on-demand video distribution. This means requests that you set up and confirmed in the Multimedia distribution settings for a video.
