3.8 Configuring Folders to Send Email Notifications to Other Users

As a folder owner, you can configure Micro Focus Vibe to send other users email notifications, in order to inform them of any activity in the folder and any sub-folders of the folder. If a user does not want to be informed of activity in the folder, the user can change the notification settings. A user’s individual settings override or cancel notifications established by folder owners.

You cannot directly configure a sub-folder to send email notifications; instead, you must configure the parent folder.

  1. Navigate to the folder from where you want to send the email notifications.

  2. Click the Configure icon next to the folder title, then click Subscribe Others to Folder.

    The Subscribe Others to Folder page is displayed.

  3. In the Subscribe Notification Type section, select the type of email notification that you want to send.

    • Digest: Vibe sends one message that summarizes all of the activity in the folder and its sub-folders (available for folders only). Vibe sends digest notifications at a schedule established by your site administrator.

      As a folder owner, you can set your own schedule for digest notifications. For more information, see Step 5.

    • Email with Attachments: Vibe sends one message for every new or changed entry, and messages include attached files. Vibe sends all types of individual notifications every five minutes.

    • Email Only: Vibe sends one message for every new or changed entry. The email messages do not include files that might be attached to the new or changed entries. Vibe sends all types of individual notifications every five minutes.

    • Text Message: Vibe sends a message suitable for viewing as a text message. The content of the message includes only the entry title and a link to the new or changed entry. Vibe sends all types of individual notifications every five minutes.

  4. Specify the users that you want to receive the email notifications.

    You can specify specific email addresses, users, or groups, or send the notifications to all team members.

  5. (Optional) Click Set a Different Schedule for This Folder if you want to set a digest schedule for the folder that is different from the digest schedule set by the site administrator.

  6. Click Apply > Close.

To configure the folder to stop sending email notifications:

  1. Ensure that no email addresses, users, or groups are specified, and that the Team Members option is not selected.

  2. Click Apply > Close.
