You can configure Novell Vibe to send you e-mail notifications for folders and their sub-folders, or for individual entries. This is called “subscribing” to a folder or entry. Also, folder owners can configure Vibe to send e-mail notifications to you (as described in Configuring Folders to Send E-Mail Notifications to Other Users
in the Novell Vibe 3.4 Advanced User Guide). However, because a user’s individual subscription settings override those of the folder owner, you can override any higher-level configurations.
If you are particularly interested in a specific folder or entry, you might want to subscribe to that folder or entry. When you subscribe to a folder or entry, Vibe notifies you of the activity that takes place in the folder or entry.
Navigate to the folder that you want to subscribe to.
Click > in the Action toolbar.
The Select the Type of E-Mail Notification dialog box is displayed.
Continue with Section 2.11.3, Selecting Notification Types and Delivery Destinations.
Navigate to and open the entry that you want to subscribe to.
In the Footer toolbar of the entry, click .
The Select the Type of E-Mail Notification form is displayed.
Continue with Section 2.11.3, Selecting Notification Types and Delivery Destinations.
This form enables you to choose which type of notification that you want to receive, as well as the e-mail address or phone number that you want the notifications to be sent to.
Select an e-mail address or phone number where you want the notifications to be sent.
You can select multiple e-mail or phone number delivery destinations for each notification type by simply pressing Ctrl and selecting the e-mail addresses or phone numbers.
You can select these delivery destinations in any of the provided sections, which represent the e-mail notification types:
Digest: (Available for folders only) Vibe sends one message that summarizes all of the activity in the folder and its sub-folders. Vibe sends digest notifications at a schedule established by your site administrator.
Individual Messages: (Includes Attachments) Vibe sends one message for every new or changed entry, and messages include attached files.
Individual Messages without Attachments: Vibe sends one message for every new or changed entry. The e-mail messages do not include files that might be attached to the new or changed entries. Vibe sends all types of individual notifications every five minutes.
Message Suitable for Text Messaging: Vibe sends a message suitable for viewing as a text message. The content of the message includes only the linked title of the new or changed entry. Vibe sends text-message notifications up to every five minutes.
(Optional) Select if you want your selections to override those made by the administrator or folder owner.
