Account type and status

Use the accounts tab to change from one type of account service to another, to view the settings associated with an account, and to select badging credentials. The following table lists the account service types.

There are no restrictions when you change from one service type to another. When you select Credential, Hosted – Credential, or Managed - Credential, the Badging Credential tab appears.

When you update your system and select the Enable badging credential check box, the selected service type automatically changes to Credential. For Hosted and Managed accounts, the existing functionality remains the same in relation to alarm management.

Based on the service type that you select in the Account window, the Switch Account bar displays the service type. The color of the bar indicates the status of the account. The following table outlines the three status types.
