Setting Up Email for Notifications

If the administrator has allowed you to customize your email notification settings, then you can set an email to notify you about the application activities when there's a change in task lists, and the job console.

A new user inherits the default email notification settings defined by the Service Administrator. If the Service Administrator has allowed users to define their own email notification settings, any user can do one of the following:

• Continue to use the default settings defined by the Service Administrator. Any updates that the Service Administrator subsequently makes to email notifications settings will be reflected in the user’s settings.
• Customize one or more of their email notification settings. If no value is set for a particular preference, it will continue to use the default value set by the Service Administrator.

Note:

If the Service Administrator has disallowed users to customize their notification settings, then Use Administrator’s Settings is disabled.

To deactivate a notification, clear the Notifications check boxes.

To set up and enable email notifications:

1. On the Home page, click Tools, and then User Preferences.
2. Click Notifications.
3. Optional: If you are a Service Administrator, select Use Administrator's Settings to prevent any user customizations to the email notification settings. If the Service Administrator selects this checkbox then all the user preference settings will get overwritten by the administrator’s settings, that is, the user will inherit the preferences set by the administrator.
4. For Email Address, enter your email address.
5. Under Notifications, select the application updates for which you want notifications:
   • Task Lists
   • Job Console
6. Click Save. You get a notification that the user preferences has been set.
