When viewing a folder entry, you might think of a co-worker who also needs the information. Novell Vibe provides various ways to inform your friends and co-workers about entries that you think they might be interested in.
These options are functional only if you have an e-mail account assigned to you in Vibe. To assign an e-mail account to your Vibe profile, see Section 2.11.4, Adding and Modifying Delivery Destinations.
NOTE:Notifying another Vibe user about an entry does not automatically grant the user access rights to view the entry. If the user does not already have access rights to view the entry, you can modify the access control settings of the entry, as described in Controlling Access to Entries
in the Novell Vibe 3.4 Advanced User Guide.
