Subscriptions

On the left navigation bar

Add notification event

Pops up a list of events that can be used within this subscription. Choosing one creates a notification event of that type.

Test subscription

This test runs this subscription and all enabled events within it, but does not actually generate any notifications. Use this to help refine your rules and events.

See notifications

Shows notifications previously generated by this subscription.

General settings

Description

Name for the subscription.

Disabled

A disabled event will never run, even if its subscription is run.

E-mail subject

Notifications delivered by e-mail will have this subject unless a Subject is set within the individual event.

Subscription type

Allows grouping of notification if they have been set up.

Enable opting-out for automatic recipients

If checked, then individual users can, using the VSys Anywhere Subscription Manager, opt themselves in or out of this specific subscription (Only automatic-recipient subscriptions.)

Don't send e-mails older than

Any e-mail notifications generated as part of this subscription which are older than the value here won't be delivered. If this value is zero, the corresponding setting in notification rules is used.

Don't send SMS/text messages older than

Any SMS notifications generated as part of this subscription which are older than the value here won't be delivered. If this value is zero, the corresponding setting in notification rules is used.

Run only when triggered manually

If this is checked, when VSys automatically runs eligible subscriptions, it will not run this one.

Limit when and how often this subscription can be run

Checking this provides options for restricting the schedule on which this subscription is run. For example you may want it to only run during the business day, Monday through Friday and not during the evenings or on weekends.

Override e-mail sender information

If checked, when VSys delivers e-mails related to this subscription, it will use the Sender... and Reply-to... values you supply.

Send copies of notifications to additional people

Checking this tells VSys to send copies of all of the notifications generated here to specific individuals. These can be system administrators, location managers, or anyone else. These recipients must be people in VSys, but you can override the e-mail address to which the e-mails are sent.

Schedule

These define when the subscription is eligible to be run automatically. This is when it can run, not when the things it is notifying about will happen. Unless it's disabled, it can still be run manually by the subscriber or from within the Notifications subscriptions tool. If defined, the Maximum frequency setting prevents the subscription from being run if it was last run within that time window.

On the right-click menu for Notification events

Add

Pops up a list of events that can be used within this subscription. Choosing one creates a notification event of that type.

View, Duplicate, Edit

Opens up this event for viewing or editing.

Disable, Enable

A disabled event will never run, even if its subscription is run.

Delete

Deletes this event from the subscription. Any notifications previously generated by this event are unaffected.

See tracked changes

Opens up a window which shows the editing history of this event as well as its full activity log.

Test this event

Tests just this event alone and shows the notifications that it would create, but does not actually generate any notifications. (This is opposed to Test subscription which will test all events.)
