Notifications Framework and New User Registration

The New User Registration framework uses the Notifications framework as part of the Forgot User ID utility. New User Registration triggers the Notifications framework from the New User Registration sample login page or New User Registration Tester page. When users click the Forgot your User ID link and enters their address, the system validates the email address and the user ID is retrieved. The Notifications framework sends an email to the user that contains the user’s ID.

An email template for sending an email message that contains the user’s ID is delivered with your system. It uses a custom logic to retrieve the user’s email address. This logic is delivered with your system and it matches the email address in the user’s profile with the email address users provide when they use the Forgot User ID utility. The custom logic is contained in the application class SCC_IDENTITY_MGR:NOTIFICATION:NURCustomLogicprovider.

Notification Templates for New User Registration

Email templates are delivered with your system. These generic templates establish a common format for notifications.

Template Name Description Trigger Recipient

NUR_EMAIL_OPRID

A basic email that includes the user ID of the requestor.

Example:

Email Subject: Your User ID to access the Campus Solutions system. Email Message: You are receiving this email message because you had forgotten your User ID to access the Campus Solutions system.Your User ID is TEST100 This is an auto generated email; please do not respond to this message.

When a user clicks the Forgot your User ID link on the New User Registration sample login or Tester page. The user provides an email address, which the system validates. When the email address is valid, the user ID is retrieved and is sent through an email message.

Users who have forgotten their user IDs.

To modify the template, go to PeopleTools, and then Workflow, and then Notifications, and then Generic Templates.

Currently, only the following variables are defined and delivered with the Forgot User ID utility. Adding more variables requires substantial programming effort.

  • %1 => OPRID

  • %2 => URL Link (not used in the delivered template)

WARNING:

Notifications are intended to be short and simple messages with the purpose of informing about a specific subject. The list of variables contained in each message is delivered with your system and require extensive coding effort to be modified.

Note:

As part of New User Registration framework, only the Forgot User ID utility consumes the Notifications framework. The Forgot Password utility uses the PeopleTools Send Password Email utility.
