Subscriptions

Subscriptions are notifications for informing you when a file or directory has been viewed, changed, or commented. Subscriptions are an optional featured that may or may not be turned on according to how your administrator has configured your system.

When turned on, subscription notifications are sent via email either when the viewing, changing, or commenting occurs or at a certain time of day. Such notifications are known as subscription "reports". The type of report (view, change, or comment) and frequency of the report is determined when the subscription is created.

You cannot create subscriptions from the subscription summary under Utilities. To create a subscription, refer to Creating Subscriptions.

To view all existing Subscriptions:

1. Click on the "Subscriptions" link under Utilities.
2. Click "Back" or navigate to the desired directory when you have finished viewing your current subscriptions.

To cancel an existing Subscription:

1. Click on the "Subscriptions" link under Utilities.
2. Click the "x" icon in the Unsubscribe column of the subscription you wish to cancel.
3. Click "Back" when you have finished canceling subscriptions.

Automatic cancellation of a Subscription or notification:

Subscriptions and their notifications are also automatically cancelled due to certain changes within the system. If the subscribed file or directory is deleted, the subscription is automatically cancelled.

Additionally, if the permissions of a file or directory are changed such that the current subscriber no longer has the correct access to view or edit that file or directory, the subscription will still exist. However, the subscription notifications will no longer be sent.

To create a new Subscription:

Refer to Creating Subscriptions.
