Notification Properties

The Notification properties dialog box is available for every notification in the Server Manager. You can access the notification properties either by double- or right-clicking a notification in the Notifications area.

You can use the Notification properties dialog box to manage already existing notifications. The following tabs are available here: 

  • General
  • Advanced

The content of the single tabs is explained in detail below.

General

In the General tab you can set the following:

  • Event: Choose an event you would like the Enterprise Server to send a notification. May different events can be selected here, for example "A failed login attempt by a user" or "A new database has been installed" etc.
  • Notes to include in notification: Here, you can add individual notes to be included in the notification email
  • Send email notification to recipients: You can see here all the recipients who will receive an email as soon as the corresponding event occurs.

You can enter a new email address in the drop down-menu at the bottom of the dialog box or select an already existing one from the list. Click Add afterwards, to save the corresponding email address and add a new recipient.

If you would like to replace an email address from the list, you can highlight it and enter a new email address in the drop down-menu (or choose another already existing address from the drop down-menu). Finally, click Replace.

If you would like to delete an email address from the list of recipients, select the correct one and click Delete afterwards. 

Advanced

The Advanced tab cannot be used for all notifications available on the server. It is only important for specific ones. If it is activated, you can further specify here when to send the corresponding notification. For example, you can set that the notification should be limited to single databases, database entries, users or groups. If the specified event occurs on the server in general, a notification will not be sent by default and only if it is referred to a specific database or if it was triggered by a specific user etc.

Users and Groups

  • All users and groups: Select this option if the notification should be triggered by all server users and groups.
  • Selected users and groups: Select his option if the notification should be triggered by specific server users and/or groups only. Click Add to add individual users/groups to the list or Remove to delete user/group objects from the list.

Objects

  • All databases: Select this option to apply the notification to all server databases.
  • Selected databases: Select this option to apply the notification to specific server databases only. In this case, a notification will only be sent if the event connected to it occurs within a specific database from the list. Click Add to add individual databases to the list or Remove to delete single databases.
  • Selected entries: You can apply the notification to single entries also. In this case, the notification will only be triggered if the event connected to it can be referred to a single entry from the list. Click Add to add a single entry to the list or Remove to delete single entries.
