The notification settings area is where users manage what email digests they would like to subscribe to and how often they would like to receive each digest. Currently, there is only one digest that can be subscribed to and it directly relates to the previous section Configuration Alerts section.

Notifications

To use this interface, first select the user whose subscriptions you would like to manage, and then for a given user, toggle which digest they will be subscribing to. If a digest is toggled on, the frequency and changes only options will become available.

Note: A small notification will appear next to a user's name, if that user does not have an email entered into the system. It is still possible to subscribe to a digest, but for obvious reasons, no email will be sent until an email address has been entered. In a similar vein, if your system's SMTP Settings have not been configured correctly, DeepSurface will not be able to send email digests to anyone. If this is the case, the system will show you an alert at the top of this page. For more information on SMTP settings, read the documentation here.

Notifications no email

Notifications error

Frequency can be either immediately, daily, or weekly. If weekly is selected, users can further configure which specific day they would like to receive emails.

Changes Only Users can choose to only have items included in the digest if a significant change has taken place. This can be helpful if users want to avoid being notified over and over again about the same 5 things.

Configuration Alerts Digest

Currently, DeepSurface allows you to subscribe to the configuration alerts digest. This digest will contain a rundown of all of the high priority configuration alerts that have not been hidden. This digest can be especially useful for staying on top of a potentially misconfigured system.

Note: It is also possible to configure a user's notification settings from the Setup > Authentication > Users interface in the application. To do so, click on the notification "bell" icon for a given user and you will see a nearly identical interface as in the notification settings, with the exception of the user selector. For more information about configuring DeepSurface users, refer to documentation here.
