Email notification is an important component of many Workflows. Use this feature to send an email message to a predefined list of users whenever a document is saved within an Archive. Note that Email Notification is not tied to any workflow component license and is available as a core feature in all GlobalSearch editions.  Notification messages are configured on a per Archive basis; message properties need to be defined for each. The email message may contain Index Field data, giving information about that specific document, and you can use S9 Notation to insert variable data.

 


  1. To configure a notification in a new Archive, click Notifications in the New Archive dialog. 

  2. To edit notifications in an existing Archive, click Notifications from the More Options () icon for the selected Archive.

  3. In the Edit Notifications dialog that appears, enter the email address of the sender in the From box.
    Note that the From field does not have to be for an active email account, as long as it looks valid, although your mail server might require that it end in "@yourdomain.com."messages be sent from a specific sender address.  Contact your email administrator for details on proper configuration for outbound SMTP mail messages.

  4. Enter the email address of the person or people that the email will be sent to in the To box.
    The  The To field must be a valid email address or exchange group address, but not a GlobalSearch group. It can be configured to send to multiple recipients by separating the addresses with a comma or a semicolon. The address can be to inside or outside the current domain – i.e., you can configure the email to send it to any email address.

  5. Enter an email subject line in the Subject box.

  6. Enter an email message and any attachments in the message editor, with its various formatting options.

    1. Include Field information in the message editor by selecting from the Fields menu.

    2. Drag the Resize (triangle) icon to resize the message editor.

    3. Click Save to save changes and exit Email Notifications.
