Creating a Notification

When you create a Notification in a Work Area, you are actually creating an instance of a Notification definition.

To create a new Notification instance:

1. In a Work Area, select Notification from the Add drop-down list.
2. Click Go.

   The system displays the Create Notification screen.

3. Choose one of the following options:

   • Create a new Notification definition and instance. Choose this option if no Notification definition exists that can meet your needs, either as it is or with some modification.

   • Create an instance from an existing Notification definition. Choose this option if a Notification definition already exists that meets your needs.

     If you can adapt an existing Notification definition to make it fit your needs, first copy it into the current Application Area, then choose this option and select the copied definition. See Finding an Appropriate Definition and Reusing Existing Definitions for further information.
