Setting Administrative Notification Options

The Administrative Notifications page is available to account administrators, and to other users with the Setup Company permission. Use this page to designate which users will receive administrative notifications and select who should receive these types of NetSuite email notifications. You can also view pending and confirmed notifications.

• On the Options subtab, you can:

  • Designate multiple users, in addition to administrators, as notification recipients.

    Important:

    You may be able to set users that do not have login access to NetSuite as notification recipients, but users without login access will not receive notification email.

  • Elect to send notifications by email, in addition to displaying them in the user interface.

• On the Confirmed subtab, you can:

  • View the date and time when a recipient has confirmed that they read a notification.

  • View the name of the recipient who confirmed they read the notification.

    For more information, see Review Notification Confirmations.

• On the Pending Confirmation subtab, you can:

  • View the notifications that have yet to be confirmed.

  • View the name of the recipient who has not yet confirmed that they read the notification.

    For more information, see Review Pending Confirmations.
