Enabling notifications

After the Notifications functionality has been configured in CMS, it must be turned on to be activated.

Globally

Globally, for the whole portal, the Notifications functionality is toggled on or off as follows:

1. In CMS, go to Media > Portal Settings > Notification Processing.
2. On the Common tab, use the following switches:
   1. Enable portal notifications - Specifies whether the functionality that displays notifications about changes on subscribed records directly on the portal as well as pages where you manage notification subscriptions will be enabled. If you change this setting, you must restart the application for the changes to take effect.
   2. Enable email notifications - Specifies whether the functionality that sends notifications about changes on subscribed records by email will be enabled.
      
3. Select Save.
4. Restart the application.

For a specific page

Additionally, for each page where you want portal members to have the ability to manually subscribe to changes (the Direct Notifications subscription type), you should add and configure the Notifications command. This command is available on the Permissions tab of the grid or detail page settings.

When you add this command, specify the command caption, enable it in the command toolbar if necessary, specify the icons for the Enabled and Disabled state (you don’t have to specify icons if you want to use the default images).
