Manage a User's Status Change Notifications

The Status Change Preferences page allows you to specify how a person should be notified when the status changes for resources and sub-resources to which they have access. From this page you can:

  • Access the user's preferences

  • Add a notification preference

  • Edit an existing preference

  • Delete a notifications for a resource

For details on automated alerts and notifications, refer to Types of Notification.

  • When searching for sub-resources, you can enter both the sub-resource name and the resource's name in the Name field. This will help narrow your search results.

  • The fields that appear in the Edit Status Change Preferences page depend on the type of resource and the status types associated with it.

  • For number and NEDOCS Calculation statuses, you can specify Above and Below. They are primarily used for setting notification thresholds. For example, a user can choose to be notified only when an ED's NEDOCS Calculation exceeds a certain number.
