Using the admin interface

In the administration, notifications have two pages: each user's own settings, and the status page for administrators.

My notification settings

My notification settings in the dashboard's left menu (/notification/settings; policy notification/use) shows how many items you follow, how the messages come (At once, Daily, Weekly or Monthly) and the address they go to. Below:

• Items I follow: Add items opens the content browser; Remove selected asks once and removes. Items whose content was deleted are marked "Content no longer exists". A filter (Name contains, and the class when you follow several) narrows long lists.
• E-mail digest: tick Receive all messages combined in one digest, choose daily at an hour, weekly on a day, or monthly on a day, and press Save digest settings.
• Collaboration notification: tick the kinds of items (for example Approval) and press Save collaboration settings.

You can also follow an item from the content structure: open its menu and choose Notify me.

The status page

Setup > Notification (/notification/status; policy notification/administrate) shows whether anything looks wrong, the pending events, the messages kept for digests, the subscriptions and the recent runs. Run now starts a run in the background, Preview (dry run) lists what would be sent without sending, and old events can be removed.
