Configuring User Notification Types
To configure user notifications, you must have one of the following roles:
- Letter Administrator
- General System Administrator
You send notifications to users using the job Update/Notify Users. For more information, see Running Manual Jobs on Defined Sets.
The User Notifications Types table (Administration > User Management Configuration > Configuration Menu > General > User Notification Types) includes a default notification indicating that the receiver’s password was changed.
You can add additional notification types. When running an Update/Notify Users job, you can select the notification type.
To configure notification types:
- Add, edit, or remove notification types in the User Notifications Types table.
Notification Types - When you are done, click Save. If you added a notification type, you will require its code in the following step.
- Configure the User Notifications Letter and its fields for the letter, as required. For example, the Notify Password Change letter:
- Administration > General Configuration > Configuration Menu > General Configuration > Letter Emails; select Actions > Customize in the User Notifications Letter row. Add any required fields for any additional notification types you added in step 1 above.
User Notification Letter Fields - Administration > General Configuration > Configuration Menu > General Configuration > Customize Letters; click Customize in the User Notifications Letter row. Add any required XSL clauses for the new fields. For example, this is a conditional clause that inserts fields for the out-of-the-box notification NOTIFY_PASSWORD_CHANGE:<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="notification_data/notification_type =
'NOTIFY_PASSWORD_CHANGE' ">
<tr>
<td>
<h3>@@Line_1@@</h3>
<xsl:value-of select="notification_data/temp_password" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<h3>@@Line_2@@</h3>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
