Manage a User's System and Event Notifications

The Notification Preferences page allows you to identify how a person is notified about expired statuses, incident command system (ICS), incoming patient, and general system notifications. For more information about automated alerts and notifications, see the article Types of Notifications.

With appropriate rights, you can indicate how users receive event notifications based on the type of event. If the corresponding contact details have been entered for the user, you can choose to have the solution send notifications by email, text, pager, voice, mobile app, and web page when an event is started, updated, and ended.

Events can be started, updated, and/or ended quietly. Admins can select any combination of these three. When the event is quiet, no notifications are sent.

Email and text notifications contain high-level details, including the name of the event, the name of the individual who created or edited it, and the affected regions. Offering quick access to the event, the email and text notifications also include a link to the event page in EMResource.

For event types that include resources, you can limit notifications to only be sent when the event involves resources for which the user has associated rights. If this option is supported, the Associated Resources Only checkbox will be visible.

For details on automated alerts and notifications, refer to Notifications.
