Set Default Notification Preferences

Ektron CMS400.NET provides a default set of Notifications that apply to all newly-created users. After a user is created, he can change his preferences by editing his profile, selecting the Activities tab, and checking or unchecking activities and agents. See Also: Setting a User’s Notification Activities

Similarly, a community group member can access any community group profile and click Edit Group Notification Preferences to set the group's preferences.

For a list of activities, see Activities that Trigger a Notification Message. To learn about agents that appear across the top of the screen (for example, SMS), see Notification Agents.

You can apply three types of default settings via screens on the Workarea Settings tab (illustrated below).

Notification of community group activities

Notification of your activities to other users or community groups

Note: If you are upgrading to Version 8.0, all activities are checked for the Activity Stream agent by default. No activities are checked for the other agents by default.
