Orbital Settings My Account Tab

The purpose of the My Account tab on the Settings page is to display user account-specific information as well as allowing the user to configure their Orbital experience to their liking. The My Account tab on the Settings page is shown in the figure below.

The My Account tab consists of the following nine user interface elements:

Element	Description
Name	This element is used to display the full name of the user. This display element is display only and cannot be edited.
User ID	This element displays the user ID that the client organization has assigned to the user. This display element is display only and cannot be edited.
Email	This element displays the email that the organization has assigned to the user. This display element is display only and cannot be edited.
Display Theme	This element is used to define how Orbital will appear in the user’s web browser. There are four display options available:
	Match System - This display theme will display Orbital using the same color theme as the one defined in the user’s web browser.
	Light - This display theme forces Orbital to be displayed using a light color theme. An example of this theme is shown in the illustration below.
	Dusk - This display theme forces Orbital to be displayed using a slate coloured or dusk color theme. An example of this theme is shown in the illustration below.
	Dark - This display theme forces Orbital to be displayed using a dark color theme. An example of this theme is shown in the illustration below.
Download Format	Lists of organization queries, endpoints, and query results can be downloaded from Orbital. This toggleswitch is used to set the default download file type to either CSV or JSON. Refer to the Setting the Download File Type, below, for instructions on setting the default download file type.
	Note: Not all lists can be downloaded in the CSV format. The organization’s full list of results for all queries and the full list of results for a specific endpoint can only be downloaded in a JSON file.
Version	This element displays Orbital Service’s version number.
Time Options	The Time Options dialog, shown in the figure below, is used to set the default time zone and time format for the account. The time zone and format will dictate how the time and date are displayed in user interface elements such as the Refreshed element, located on the Results page or the Last Seen column on the Endpoints page. The time zone and format does not affect the time and date of the query results or time listings for actions performed on endpoints.
	The SecureX Time Zone/Format radio button will tell Orbital to use the time zone and time format settings that SecureX uses.
	The Custom Time Zone/Format radio button will tell Orbital to use the time zone and time format settings the user will set in the Time Zone and Time Format dropdowns.
	The Time Zone dropdown is used to manually set the time zone where the user is located. Clicking on the dropdown will display a list of acceptable time zones.
	The Time Format dropdown is used to define the format that time will take. Clicking on the dropdown will display a list of available time formats and provide an example of that format.
Default Interval	This is a compound element and is used to define the default time frequency and duration for scheduled queries. It consists of the following three components:
	The Every dropdown is used to set the query schedule’s frequency. A scheduled query’s frequency is how often it is run. For example, if you set this dropdown to 30 minutes, Orbital will run the query every 30 minutes.
	The For dropdown is used to set the query schedule’s duration. A scheduled query’s duration defines the length of time that Orbital will keep a query in the execution queue before it will no longer run the query. For example, if you set this dropdown to 24 hours, Orbital will keep the query in its execution queue for 24 hours, after which, it will remove the query from its execution queue and no longer run the query.
	The Run Once toggleswitch is used to define how many times Orbital will run the query on each node. If this toggleswitch is set on, Orbital will only run the query once on each endpoint over the query’s duration. If the toggleswitch is set off, Orbital will run the query against each endpoint every time the query is scheduled to run.
	For example:
	If you set the Every dropdown to 30 minutes and the For dropdown to 24 hours, Orbital will run the query every 30 minutes over a period of 24 hours, after which, Orbital will stop running the query.
	If the Run Once toggleswitch is set off, Orbital will run the query every 30 minutes over a period of 24 hours against every endpoint in the organization, every time the query is run.
	If the Run Once toggleswitch has been set on, Orbital will run the query every 30 minutes over a period of 24 hours against each endpoint only once. This means that if the query is run against an endpoint once during the 24 hour duration, it will not be run again on that endpoint. This is useful when running a query against the entirety of an organization’s endpoints, but user is uncertain of which endpoints are online at what time.
Default Remote Data Store	This element allows you to define one or more remote data stores that will be automatically used by Orbital to send your scheduled query results to. Clicking on this dropdown will display a list of the previously defined remote data store for you to choose from. Refer to the Remote Data Stores topic for more information on defining and managing your organization’s remote data stores.
