Create notification categories

You can create notification categories to identify and group related notifications that are listed in the notification settings for your users.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

About this task

Before adding new categories, review the base system notification categories in the Notification Categories [sys_notification_category] table to determine if you need a new category.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > System Notification > Email > Notification Categories.

  2. Select New.

  3. Enter the Name of the category to identify the family of notifications.

    Provide a category name that is meaningful to your users, so that they can easily find their notifications under the appropriate category in their notification settings.

  4. Enter a Short description to identify the category.

  5. Select Submit.

Result

The system adds the new category to the Notification Categories [sys_notification_category] table. After you create at least one, active notification that uses the new category, the category and notification are listed in the Notification preferences for users (User Menu > Preferences > Notifications > System Notifications).
