EOCM_DEFLT_NOTIFY

Specify the process stages when users should be notified.

When managing catalogs, workflow notifications can be used to inform partners and managers of status changes and other relevant activities. Using workflow, automatic notifications can be sent to catalog managers when work needs to be reviewed or approved, or when a process, such as categorization or load, has finished. Email notifications can be triggered for these stages:

  • Loaded.

  • Categorized.

  • Offering approved.

  • Categories approved.

  • Staged.

  • Moved to production.

  • Rolled back.

  • Syndicated.

Note: A worklist notification is also triggered for the approval process since action is required from the enterprise catalog manager before the approval process is completed.
