See Setting Up and Consuming the Notifications Framework

The Send Notification button which launches the Create Notification page appears on the various pages in Research Tracking and Student Academic Project components (listed in the earlier table) only if the Notification Consumer ID defined for the component is set to Active. The Notification Consumer IDs are set to Inactive on delivery and need to be activated once the templates to be used have been set up.

Use the delivered sample templates and generic templates as examples for setting up your own notifications. We recommend that you use a naming convention that uniquely identifies online notifications from others defined in the Notification Framework setup. The generic template lists the available field variables that can be used to create your own notifications. These variables are values derived from the component from which the notification originates. All notification channels are supported. The template status must be set to Active in order to be selected in the Create Notification page.

See Creating Online Notifications.

Following is a list of the variables that are delivered with each generic template. Each set of variables is intended for use in a designated component.

Include these variables in the Template Variables section of the generic template to create context-specific online notifications. To modify templates, go to PeopleTools, Workflow, Notifications, Generic Templates.

Entering Ad Hoc Comments on the Create Notification Page

Besides providing template variables to include information on the originating page, online notifications also support the capture and sending of ad hoc text entered by the user. The %50 template variable performs this function. If used in a template, the Create Notification page automatically renders a comment box. The text entered by the user is then used in the notification like a regular template variable. We recommend using this feature only in the message body and not in the message Subject line.
