Subscriptions page allows you to subscribe to Events and create
or modify custom Notification Text for any email you may get as a result
of a particular event.
If you have the Event Administrator and Event Manager privileges, you will see additional functionality to the standard user page for EventSmith Subscriptions. In addition to subscribing to Events for yourself, you can also subscribe other users to Events as a bulk operation. The two 'modes' of this page, Admin and User, each cache their grid layout, sorting, grouping, etc. independently.
You can customize this page by sorting, grouping or filtering. See the topic CM4D Web Interface for more information on customizing the CM4D Web interface.
If you want to subscribe to events for all users in the database, the Show Only My Subscribed Events box below the Refresh and Share Link buttons must be unchecked.
While in the Admin mode you can subscribe multiple users to an event at one time, remove subscriptions for users that have subscribed themselves, and create or modify the Notification Text for each user.
Also, if you have the Event Administrator privilege, you can subscribe users to any event in a Managed DataSource to which the user has access. For example, if User A has access to Database 1, 3, and 4, you can subscribe User A to any events that have Routines in one of those three databases. However, if you as the Admin do not have access to those same databases, you cannot subscribe yourself in Admin mode to any of those events.
To make changes to the Subscribers of an Event, click the Manage Subscription
(
)
icon for the event row.

If you want to subscribe to events only for yourself, you can switch to the User mode for this page by enabling the Show Only My Subscribed Events check box below the Refresh and Share Link buttons.
As an Event Admin, you may also subscribe yourself to events through the same bulk editor that is used when in Admin mode. However, putting this page into the user mode may make it easier for you to locate and manage your own subscriptions.
Once this check box is enabled, the page functions the same way it does for standard web users. See the topic EventSmith Subscriptions to see the steps for subscribing to Events this way.
To return to the Administrator mode for this page, turn off the Show Only My Subscribed Events check box.
