Now, in the Subscriptions Tab, you can go ahead and
identify which Contacts are going to be subscribed to
this Notification. So, if you recall, when we first
started doing this particular Sample Notification,
the MyNot1 here, I just kind of
briefly dragged
a Subscriber over here, or Contact over here, and I did it all real
quickly. I did not go over any of the details. So, let's just kind of rehash
what we did. We created, earlier, a New
Notification called MyNot1. It had a very simple
trigger. I then added a second trigger.
We discussed briefly the Content. And now, let's
take a look at Subscribers, and let's start by just -- I will
delete this current Subscriber here.
Let me show you how we would normally add a Subscriber. We add
Subscribers by either clicking on this and
just choosing from one of these Groups.
As you saw, we have, you know, we have these Contacts. The
Contacts will allow you to go out and do that Active Directory
Search. So, you know, for example I think, I have, I
remembered showing you I had some Active Directory Users who began with the name
S-O-L-U. Yeah, there we go.
These are some of the existing Active Directory Clients
that have these windows. And so, I could use this
as a mechanism for adding individuals. I will go ahead and add
Bob Smith. I will go ahead and add --
let me do that again.
I will add one more
Subscriber here: Solution_jhogg.
And then, in addition, do you remember I mentioned
very early on, you could specifically add
Delivery Endpoints that are not associated with a Contact?
So, this would be what you would use, for example, for a Web Service.
Okay. In addition, of course, we can do Groups
and Escalation Teams. Go ahead and take a look at those videos if you are not
familiar. Those were earlier.
Now, that's one of the ways we could have have added
those Subscribers. We could also go out here, under this
Contacts Pane here, and just go out and search for
the -- search for those Contacts
and then, once we found them, we would drag -- you, you'd actually
drag the Delivery Point, not the Contact Name, but
to drag the Delivery Point which in -- or, End Point,
which is this case is the Email. I will just drag them over,
drop it right there, and you notice, he gets added. Now, you will notice the
very first time you do that, you are going to get some Options that
come up. And, and that's something that's available at any point.
Now we have look at these Options briefly when
looked at Contacts. So,
if you are unfamiliar with these Options, go take a look at the Contacts
video. Also,
now here's something brand new. If you decide to Modify
some of these Options like -- for example, you'd like to choose
to Notify on Close. In other words, if the
Notification closes, you want to send a Notification to everybody.
Well, what I can do is choose to copy
that to the other Subscribers here.
I will go ahead and select the Subscribers. I will go ahead and say OK.
And, as you can see,
not only can you copy them, you can choose which ones
you are going to copy. So, there we go.
We have now copied those for each of the Users.
So, each of these Users, as you can see, has his own,
you know, his own mechanism for
what Content you are going to deliver. Now,
one of the things I, I never like about
Defaults is you sometimes get way more information
than you need. And, I would -- look at the -- look at the Subject Line
here. Oh, my goodness. That is, that is --
90 percent of what I can see right now is just the path
to the Notification, which is great. I mean,
I am sure we need that information, but do we need it, you know,
right there? Well, you can change that if
you want. If you'd like to just preface this
with something like, you know, hey,
look at, at Column
#1. You know. Do that, and then have
the rest of it -- that's fine. You can always choose
what you want to include or not.
Notification Event.
And then that will become the Subject. So that's what you are going to end up
seeing in Outlook. And, if you get this
to a point where you have forgotten things like the Path, you
can always go back and restore this to what it was originally.
Now, for each and every User, we
can set this -- or each another -- every Subscriber here -- we can set
this. And, and also remember, if we have
an, an Escalation Team or a Group, it would effect,
that, that would be one Subscriber, so you'd have a way to do
this for Groups so you do not have to do it one at a time.
And, as you can see, each one is individual.
So, I can decide to include Content for the first two but not
for rwells. As you can see, these other two
get that Content, but rwells does not. So here's
the way we would set what we actually include in the Content.
And, you know, do we include the trigger input?
Do we include the Instant RtWebParts Trend? You know, for every --
if I look back here at our original
example, we were
inspecting this at the Content Tab.
But remember, what we send here, what we
decide to send, is not,
is not decided here. It's proposed here. I guess
you can think of it like that. This is what we propose to send.
If you go into Subscriptions,
this is what we actually are going to send.
So, keep that in mind as you are, you know,
as you are working with these, these two Tabs here -- the
Content and the Subscriptions, because, you know, that Content is
really just what we are, what we are suggesting you can include. And if I
want to include all these things, I will go ahead and include them there.
Now, there is one Exception to the Rule,
and that is, if you are using a Notification Template
and you have got Content specified there, that Content
cannot be excluded. Now, we will talk more about that in our videos
on Notifications Templates.
