EventSmith Subscriptions

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.

What is an Event?

Events are triggered by settings in CM4D. For example, that a CM4D managed document contains a table, and the cells of that table are configured to turn red if the data in a DataSet is out of tolerance. Also, in the same managed document, the Event Properties have been set up so that when the data in the DataSet is out of tolerance, an event happens. At the time that CM4D changes the color of the cells of the table, it also sends information about the event to EventSmith, and EventSmith sends it by email to any users who have subscribed to that event.

Subscribing to Events

When you subscribe to an event, EventSmith will notify you whenever the specific data condition occurs by sending you an email to the address you have defined in your User Profile Settings. The email will contain text describing the event. In addition, the email may include an attached image a sheet from the report that triggered the event. What is contained in the email is determined by the settings saved in the Managed Document.
