Term
Notifications
Definition
Notices sent automatically to users through paging devices, emails, hand-held devices, or screen when specific, defined events occur.
Notifications that are sent automatically (that do not require subscriptions) cannot be received on hand-held devices or viewed on screen.
Notifications are different from alerts, which are sent automatically in relation to the status of employees or jobs.
Scope
Users with the Subscribe to Notification permission and Permission to Modify Notification Settings permission can "subscribe" (or register) to receive notifications and can select whether to receive notifications through paging devices, emails, or hand-held devices/on screen.
