The Status Change Preferences for (username) page allows you to specify how the user should be notified when the status changes for resources and sub-resources to which that user has access. From this page you can:

  • Access the user's preferences

  • Add a notification preference

  • Edit an existing preference

  • Delete a notifications for a resource

For details on automated alerts and notifications, refer to Notifications: Types.

Note the following about these preferences:

  • When searching for sub-resources, you can enter both the sub-resource name and its parent resource's name in the Name field. This will help narrow your search results.

  • The fields that appear in the Edit Status Change Preferences for (user) page depend on the type of resource and the status types associated with it.

  • For number and saturation score statuses, you can specify Above and Below. They are primarily used for setting notification thresholds. For example, a user can choose to be notified only when an ED's saturation score exceeds a certain number.
