Purpose

Notifications allow one or more users from a club or association to subscribe to be notified when certain 'events' happen. For example, a user can subscribe to the 'Match disputed' notification and select one or more grades of interest. When a match is disputed that involved the club or association within the selected grades, a notification email is sent.

This gives clubs and associations a flexible way of determining who is notified in certain situations. Over time, the list of notifications will be expanded to replace many situations where the 'principle user' is notified by default.

Users subscribing to notifications

Users may login and access their Notifications list from the Users..My Account...Notifications menu item. This presents a table of their current subscriptions, and a table of other notifications they can subscribe to.

Subscribing to a notification

To subscribe to a notification, click the Subscribe link of the notification. This opens the Notifications Edit screen. See 'Editing a notification' below.

Removing a notification

To remove a notification, click the Remove link of the notification. After removing a notification you will no longer receive emails, although some notifications always notify certain users (eg Match dispute always notifies the user that entered the match result, and the user that disputed the result).

Editing a notification

To edit a notification, click the Edit link of the notification. This opens the Notifications Edit screen.

For the Action choose either Email Notification to receive emails, or Disabled to disable the notification and prevent emails from being sent.

If applicable, the Applies to Grades section will display. Select All grades or Select Grades then add the grades of interest to the Chosen Grades list by using the Add button. The grades you select determine if a particular notification will be sent. For example, assume a club has three teams/grades, A, B and C. If you are subscribed to the Match dispute notification, and a dispute occurs for a match in A grade, you will only be notified if you have selected All grades or Select Grades and you have A grade in the Chosen grades list.

The Notification Subscribers List

A user with USER_MANAGER access can also view and maintain the subscribers for all notifications across the club/association. This is done via the Club/Association (as applicable) menu item, Notification Subscribers List.
