Setting Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Preferences

Personalize your Ninety experience with various preference settings such as light or dual theme, date format, default team, and your time zone.

  3. Toggle on the desired events (learn about the events below).

Events 

Allows you to toggle on when Ninety sends you an email. Currently, the option is “you are set as the owner of an item.” This means that anytime an item is created and you are placed as the owner, you receive an email with that information in it. This helps ensure that newly created items don't get lost in the day-to-day hustle. 

Follow Items

Receive an email when someone comments on one of your followed items. You can follow any of the following items:

  • Rocks
  • Issues
  • To-Dos

To follow one of these, click the item in its corresponding tool and then click the plus sign at the bottom of the item's details card (you may need to scroll down).
