Personal preferences

Preferences let each member of staff make Academium comfortable to work in. They are yours alone, and do not need any special permission. Open them from your profile menu.

Appearance

• Theme: light or dark.
• Dark mode at night: switch to dark automatically in the evening (by default from 7pm to 7am). Changing the theme yourself turns this off.

Notifications

• Tone and volume for new notifications, with a button to play each tone.
• Where pop-ups appear: top right, top centre, bottom right or bottom centre.
• Preview: turn notification pop-ups on or off, and choose how long they stay (3 to 30 seconds).
• Lock screen notifications: show unread notifications on your lock screen.

Tables and lists

• Rows per page: 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• Apply filters automatically as you change them, instead of pressing a button.
• Highlight selected rows.

Security and the lock screen

• Lock after: lock Academium after 2, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes without use.
• Confirm before locking.
• Peek at PIN digits while you type them.
• Wallpaper: the default picture, a photo, or a slideshow of up to five images. Text on the lock screen adjusts to stay readable. A wallpaper needs a PIN.

Payments

If you take payments, choose whether to see a transaction preview before saving a payment, and whether to print the receipt straight after.

Guidance

Turn guided tours on or off.

Catch Up

Set quiet hours, when non-urgent Catch Up items wait, and the stock level you count as running low.
