Settings

​

Overview

Click your email address at the bottom of the left sidebar, then choose Settings. The dialog holds your personal preferences: changing your language, theme, or notification preference never affects your teammates.

​

The Account Menu

The account menu shows your identity, Settings, Help, and Logout. Help contains Feedback and Documentation. If connectors are enabled, the menu also has a Connectors shortcut into Settings.

​

The Settings Dialog

Select a section in the dialog: Optional sections, including voice dictation and connectors, appear only when enabled for your account. Language, theme, and the desktop-notification preference are saved to your account. Browser notification permissions and dictation controls still depend on the device you’re using.

​

Language

In General, choose English or Español. This changes the language of the interface itself. Content you author — factory names, model names, the text of your conversations — is stored as you wrote it and is not machine-translated by this setting.

​

Theme

In General, Light and Dark apply a fixed theme; System follows your operating system’s appearance setting, switching automatically when your OS does.

​

Desktop Notifications

When enabled, ProDex sends a browser notification when a Dexter request finishes or stops early, or when Dexter needs your input, an approval, or feedback on a review. Notifications only appear while you’re looking at another tab or app — if ProDex is in front of you, you’ll see the update on the page instead. Clicking a notification opens the conversation it’s about. Because these are browser notifications, your browser asks you to allow them for the site the first time you turn the setting on. If you’ve blocked notifications for ProDex in your browser, allow them in your browser’s site settings and try again.

​

Voice Dictation

With Voice dictation on, Dexter’s message box shows a microphone button. Your speech is transcribed into the message box so you can review it before sending. Two options appear once dictation is on:

• Dictation mode: Tap to toggle (click the microphone to start, click again to stop; recording also stops after a pause) or Push to talk (hold the microphone button while you speak).
• Dictation key: a keyboard shortcut for dictating without the mouse — Right ⌘ on a Mac (Right Ctrl elsewhere), Right Shift, or Off. Double-press the key to start or stop, or hold it down while you talk.

Keep each recording under two minutes. Your browser asks for microphone access the first time you dictate. Dictation settings are saved in the browser you set them in, so you can use a different mode on each computer.

​

Connectors

Beta The Connectors section lists the providers enabled for you, which can include Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook Mail, Outlook Calendar, and Smartsheet. Access is read-only: Dexter can use selected email, calendar, or spreadsheet data to answer your requests, and you can disconnect a connector at any time. For Google and Microsoft, connect the account that matches your ProDex sign-in email. Data integrations such as ERP or MES systems are a separate thing: your organization’s admins connect them, or the ProDex team sets them up — see Team Management.

​

Signing Out

Logout in the account menu or Settings’ Account section signs you out of the browser you’re using. To sign out of every browser and device where you’re signed in — for example, after using a shared computer — open Settings, select Account, choose Log out everywhere, and confirm.

​

The Sidebar Bottom Bar

The bottom of the sidebar groups several utility items alongside your account button:

• Search (⌘K on Mac, Ctrl+K elsewhere): opens a command menu that searches pages, chats, knowledge-base files, model nodes, BOMs, uploads, and reports, and runs quick commands such as Start new chat or Create factory.
• Notifications: opens your Inbox, an in-app list of events that need your attention (see below). This is separate from Desktop notifications in Settings’ General section: the toggle governs browser pop-ups, while the Inbox is a list you check inside ProDex.
• Team (admin-only): opens the Admin Panel for managing members, roles, and organization-wide resources. Members do not see this item.
• Your account (email address): opens the account menu, including Settings and Help. Under Help, Feedback opens the form for bug reports or suggestions, and Documentation opens this site in a new tab.

​

What the Inbox Carries

• Factory sharing: a factory a teammate wants to share with you (accept or reject it from the inbox), confirmation when someone accepts your share, and new versions published to a shared copy you hold, with the sender’s update note and an Apply update action. See Factory Management.
• Repair notices: when a pipeline or a Dexter-built module starts failing and Dexter is asked to repair it, the inbox tells you Dexter is preparing a fix.
• Credit usage alerts (admins): warnings when your organization’s pooled credits reach a threshold or are used up. Each admin chooses which alerts they get in the Usage & billing section of the Admin Panel.

Mark all as read clears the unread count.

​

Your Account

Your email address is displayed at the top of the account menu but is not editable there. Accounts are managed at the organization level — to change your email or account association, contact your organization’s admin. For how accounts and roles work, see Team Management.
