# Understanding App Settings
## Tap the gear icon from the map screen to open Settings. Here's what's inside and where to go for more detail on each section.
*Access the OnStation App settings menu via the gear icon at the top right of the screen.*
#### Profile & license
*Your name, email, and license tier at a glance. Tap Edit Profile to make changes.*
Your name, email, and current license tier show at the top of Settings. Tap **Edit Profile** to update your information.
---
#### Organizations
If you're linked to more than one organization, you can switch which one is active — see [Switching Between Organizations →](https://help.onstationapp.com/knowledge/switching-between-organizations?hsLang=en) for the full walkthrough. You can also add a new organization or leave one from this section.
---
#### Referral program
If you'd like to refer new users to OnStation, you can join the referral program from this section — refer a colleague and you get rewarded.
---
#### Active Worksite
Active Worksite is a safety feature that lets you alert the traveling public when they're entering an active work zone. Toggle **Show Active Worksite Alert** here to notify your crew when they enter or leave the worksite.
[Learn more: How to turn on and use Active Worksite as a user →](https://help.onstationapp.com/knowledge/how-to-turn-on-and-use-active-worksite-as-a-user?hsLang=en)
#### Location
*Location settings — view your GPS status, reset the connection, or jump to your device's app permissions.*
- **View GPS/Device Information** — see your current GPS connection status. [Learn more: How to run and send a GPS diagnostic report →](https://help.onstationapp.com/knowledge/how-to-run-and-send-a-gps-diagnostic-report-in-onstation?hsLang=en)
- **Reset GPS** — tap to re-initialize your GPS connection if your location isn't updating correctly. You'll see a confirmation that says "GPS connection has been reset." Takes a few seconds.
- **Open App Permissions/Settings** — takes you out of OnStation and into your device's own Settings app, where you can review or change location and other app permissions.
---
#### Notifications
Notifications require two steps. Even after you allow notifications at the device level (iOS or Android), you also have to enable **Push Notifications** here, inside OnStation's app settings. If either one is off, you won't receive chat, flag, or support notifications.
*If Push Notifications shows "Not enabled," tap it to turn notifications on inside the app — separate from your device's notification permission.*
---
#### GNSS receivers
If you're connecting an external GNSS receiver — Trimble, Bad Elf, or another supported device — see [Integrations](https://help.onstationapp.com/knowledge/integrations#main-content) for setup and troubleshooting by device.
---
#### Add-ons
Active Worksite, Custom Layers, GNSS integrations, HeavyJob, TransTech, FleetWatcher, Pay Line Items, and PDF Overlays all show their activation status here.
