# Notification settings

You can configure global default notification settings for index operations on the **Notification settings** page. You can also configure additional notification settings for individual index operations.

## Configuring default notification settings

In the **Notification settings** interface, you can configure the default notification settings for the following index operations that may take longer to complete:

- Open
- Reindex
- Split
- Shrink
- Clone
- Force merge

To get started, under the OpenSearch Dashboards main menu, select **Management** > **Index Management**. Under **Index Management**, select **Notification settings**. 

You can choose to be notified when the operation has completed or failed. Additionally, you can select the notification channels for this notification, as shown in the following image.

If you don't have permission to view notification settings, you cannot view the default settings.

1. In the **Index Management** interface, select **Indices**.

1. Select the index you want to reindex.

1. Select **Reindex** from the **Actions** dropdown list.

1. After selecting all reindex options, expand **Advanced settings**. Under **Notifications**, default notifications are listed. 
    
    If you don't have permission to view notification settings, you will not be able to view the default settings.
