  • Last name: Your last name as it appears in Pangea CMS.
  • Username: The email address you use to log in to Pangea CMS.

You can request updates to these settings (for example, if your name includes a typo). Review the relevant information below, according to your entity:


RFE/RL

Contact Pangea Customer Care to request updates.

Contact the responsible IME (Internet Managing Editor) for your division to request updates.

NOTE: For VOA and OCB, user management in Pangea CMS is handled internally by IME's (not by Pangea Customer Care). However, we encourage IME's to contact Pangea Customer Care for advice and assistance if needed.



General

Under General, all options are read-only and cannot be updated manually by Pangea CMS users. Review the following details:

  • Status: The status of your User account (Active, Inactive, or Expired validity).
  • User group: Your User group for the current site.
  • Validity: The validity of your User account (Unlimited or Limited).



User preferences

Under User preferences, optionally tick Enable search results in English.

When this option is ticked, you always see the English title for Categories in Pangea CMS. This is useful if you have access to sites in Pangea CMS where you do not understand the local language.



Notifications

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

Two notification methods are available:

  • (A): Pangea message: A notification that arrives in the notification area in Pangea CMS.
  • (B): Email: An email notification that is sent to the email address listed in your User account under Email.

Select a notification method (Pangea message or Email). Then, tick the box next to each notification you want to receive using this method. This means that for each event, you can be notified by Pangea message, email, or both.

The following events are available:


My audio / video is processed

Receive a notification whenever a video or audio file that you personally upload to Pangea CMS is fully uploaded and processed. For information about uploading files, see the following articles:


Video is published

Receive a notification when a new Video is published on the current site. This applies regardless of who published the Video.

This setting applies only for the current site that you are managing in Pangea CMS. To enable this notification for another site, you need to open the site in Pangea CMS and manually enable the notification from your User account.


My video is distributed

Receive notifications about your requests to send on-demand videos to social media. This applies for requests that you set up in the Multimedia distribution settings for an on-demand video and personally confirm. The notification does not apply for automated streaming requests to social media.

You receive a notification when:

  • A video is successfully distributed.
  • Distribution of a video fails.
