The
Folder Management menu offers administrators the option to set default
Email Notification Settings for events that occur within the folder. These determine how users will receive email if they do not specify their own email preferences.
The following events can trigger email notifications:
- File events (creation, deletion, and metadata changes)
- Message board events
- Report events, such as changes to report content or metadata. For details see Manage Reports and Charts
- Navigate to the folder you wish to manage.
- Select Admin > Folder > Management.
- Click the Notifications tab.
Default Settings
You can change the default settings for email notifications using the pulldown menus and clicking
Update.
Daily digest notifications are triggered at 12:05AM.
Options for Files notifications include:
- No Email: emails are never sent for file events.
- 15 minute digest: an email digest of file events is sent every 15 minutes.
- Daily digest: an email digest of file events is sent every 24 hours -- more precisely, an email will be send out daily at 12:05am.
Options for Messages notifications include:
- No Email: notifications are never sent when messages are posted.

Note: These default email preference settings apply only to users who have not set personal email preferences. Email delivery to users with custom set preferences will not be affected by changing the default settings. See below for how an administrator can change custom set preferences on behalf of users.
