13.2 Enabling Notifications

Path: Port 8443 Filr Admin Console > System > Email

By default, Filr users can have the Filr system send email notifications when they create folders, add files, share files and folders, and so on.

Best Practice: Plan for whether Filr will generate email notifications, how often they will be sent, and how large associated attachments can be and use the following worksheet when working in this dialog:

For information about users subscribing to receive Filr activity digests, see Subscribing to a Folder or File in the Filr 3.4: User Access Guide).

Outgoing Email Quotas	When users subscribe themselves or others to receive email notifications, there is an option to have the email include changed or new files as attachments. Use the options in this section to control the size of email attachments, as follows: To preserve the default of no size restrictions, leave the fields blank. To limit attachment sizes, specify the maximum amounts for either or both fields. To prevent any attachments from being sent, specify 0 (zero) in each field.
