EventSmith Subscription Administration

In this topic: Hide

 

The EventSmith 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.

Admin Mode - Subscribe Other Users to Events

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.

Manage Subscription

To make changes to the Subscribers of an Event, click the Manage Subscription () icon for the event row.

·        For events that do not have any users subscribed, the Create New Subscription page will open. show/hide

·        For events that have one or more users subscribed, the Edit Subscription page will open. show/hide

Add a User

1.     From the Available Users list in the left grid, find the user you want to Subscribe to the event. You can sort and filter by User Name or Full Name.

2.     Click the add () icon in the row for the user you want to subscribe.

3.     The user will be moved to the Selected Users grid on the right.

4.     To remove any filtering, click Clear in the bottom right of the Available Users grid to return to the full list of users.

5.     Repeat steps 2-5 for all users you want to subscribe to this event.

6.     Click Update to save your changes to the database.

Edit the Notification Text for a Selected User

Once you have added users to the Subscription, you can also create or modify the Notification Text that each user will receive in their email for this event.

1.     Go to the Manage Subscription page for an event.

2.     In the Selected Users list, click the edit () icon in the row for the user you want to modify.

3.     Click in the Notification Text field and enter your message.

4.     Click the apply () icon, or click the cancel () icon if you want to discard your changes and stop editing the selected user.

5.     Repeat steps 2-4 for each user for whom you want to add or modify the Notification Text.

6.     Click Update on the bottom of the Subscription page to save your changes to the database.

Remove a Selected User

1.     Go to the Manage Subscription page for an event.

2.     In the Selected Users list, click the remove () icon in the row for the user that you want to unsubscribe.

3.     Click Update on the bottom of the page to save your changes to the database.

User Mode - Subscribe to My Events

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.

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.
