Customize the Interface

This page explains on how to define the system default interface settings as well as customize your own interface.

Overview

When it comes to customizing VoipNow's Web interface, there are two options:

• Define the default system appearance and settings.
• Customize your own interface.

To access the Web Interface management page, go to Unified Communications in the side menu and click on the Web Interface icon under the Settings area.

Customize the system interface

To customize the default system interface settings visible for all users, fill in the fieldsets below. Once you're done, click OK to save your preferences. To return to the previous page without submitting the chances, click Cancel.

Default interface preferences

• Default system-wide rows in table: The default number of list items that will be displayed per page in the user's context. Default: 50. Accepted value: 1 to 9,999.

• Default expanded alerts: The default number of alerts that will be displayed in the user's context. Default value: 2. Accepted value: 1 to 10.

• Default system-wide interface skin: A drop-down list of all interface skins available (blue, green, purple, red, turquoise). The blue skin is set by default. 
• Default system-wide language: The default language for all user interfaces. The drop-down list contains the language packs installed in the system.

 Once you're done, click OK to save your preferences. If you want to keep the default settings, simply press the Default button. To return to the previous page without submitting the chances, click Cancel.

Restore dismissed alerts

VoipNow allows you to hide alert messages displayed on any page in the application. To do so, in the My Interface Settings page, press the Dismiss This Alert! link. However, please note that such alerts are only going to be dismissed for the current user.

If you want the previously hidden alert messages to be displayed again, click back the Restore Dismissed Alerts icon in the Tools area.
