Setting up notifications of events

Your AEB application can automatically notify concerned parties or persons in charge when specific events occur. Your AEB application lets you define who should be notified and with which message.

• The notifications are sent unencrypted.

Proceed as follows to configure notifications of events:

• If you wish to use your own notification text differing from the default text, you have already entered it: See below.
1. Go to Master data – Notification config..
2. Click the New button.
3. Enter the details for notification configuration. You can follow the Assistant prompts.
   • After selecting a context, the Notifications field group appears.
4. In the Notifications field group, click New.
5. If the “Select...” window appears: Select the type of notification.
6. Provide details about the notification. You can follow the Assistant prompts.
   • In the Event field, you can define for which event notifications are to be sent.
   • Instead of the default text, you can use your own notification text.
     Disable the Use standard text option. Then select a notification text you have entered before from the list in the Notification text field.
7. Define the other settings for the recipient and the language.
   • Depending on the selected context and event, you have alternative options to choosing a fixed e-mail address for the recipient. The notification will then be sent to the e-mail address that is stored in the relevant field in the transaction or event.
     You can select a strategy below the list as to what should happen to the notification if no e-mail address is stored in a transaction in this field. For example, you can store an e-mail address to which the notification should be sent in this case.
8. Click the Apply button.
9. “Conditions” sheet (if applicable): If necessary define settings for the conditions under which these notifications are to be triggered.
10. If you configure more than one notification in a notification configuration, the first notification whose event and defined conditions are present is sent. Any subsequent notifications are ignored.
11. When you have finished setting up the notification configuration, mark the Active checkbox and confirm that you wish to activate the notification.
    • This activates the new notification.
12. Finish by clicking Save & Close.
