Account Notifications
Account notifications are alerts for the signed-in team member. They are separate from client reminders, confirmations, campaigns, and automations.
On web, the Profile page shows Account notifications with Manage notifications. The dedicated notifications page controls account notification preferences.
On mobile, Profile includes the notification settings content directly.
See Push Notifications and Communication Settings for details.
Display Density
The web Profile page includes Display density.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Comfortable | Default spacing |
| Compact mode | Tightens card and panel padding so more rows fit on screen |
Compact mode is useful on large monitors or for users who prefer denser tables and panels.
Marketing pages and the customer storefront always use comfortable spacing.
If saving fails, OpenChair shows Density preference not saved with a retry action.
Appearance On Mobile
Mobile Profile includes Appearance with Light, Dark, and System.
This controls the mobile app theme only.
FAQ
Where is my account profile?
On web, open Settings then Profile. On mobile, open Profile from Settings.
Can I change my email address?
On web or mobile, open Profile and select the pencil beside your email. OpenChair sends confirmation emails to both your current and new addresses.
What is display density?
Display density is a web preference. Compact mode tightens card and panel padding so more rows fit on screen. Storefront and marketing pages are not affected.
Are account notifications the same as client reminders?
No. Account notifications are alerts for the signed-in team member. Client reminders, confirmations, campaigns, and automations are managed separately.
