Notifications
Users may like to be notified about an Axis event, when graphic rendering is complete. Notifications are customized for each service. In general, only the user which triggered the event (i.e. created a Map animation) will receive the notification. An exception is in the Order system where multiple users participating in the Order workflow will receive the same notifications.
A user can edit notifications, if permission is granted by the administrator. If edit permission is not enabled, then the settings are displayed, but not editable.
There are three types of notifications, any, or all of which can be enabled:
- Email: The user is notified of the event via email sent to the user’s corporate email address.
- Toolbar: The user is notified of the event via the Axis toolbar. An indicator at the upper right of the toolbar notes the number of outstanding notifications.
- Audio: The user is notified of the event via an audio tone.
Once Notifications settings have been configured, then they must be saved in order to become active.
To save Notification settings:
- Click on the Account Name in the top right corner.
- Click Notifications button.
- Enable desired notification by clicking the checkbox.
- Click Save.
Order
Order provides many notification options.
- A notification can be sent out at any step in the workflow (such as Pending Approval).
- The notification will be sent out only to users which are participating in that specific Order and are assigned workflow roles (i.e. submitter, designer, manager). This list is defined by the Order workflow configuration.
- To set a specific step for notification for all projects, enable the desired methods for that item.
Click Select Project to further select notification settings for each individual project order.
Typical notification items are as follows:
- Order Requires Clarification: An order requires further clarification.
- Order Cancelled: An order was cancelled.
- Order Pending Authorization: An order is pending authorization.
- etc.
