Customize your Email & Live Alert Notifications

You can customize what type of events you receive emails and live alert notifications for.  This is configured by going to your user settings, clicking the Notifications tab, selecting the check boxes for the various actions in both the Email and Live Alert columns, then clicking Save.

Live Alert notifications will appear at the top of your screen in the bell icon to the left of your avatar/profile photo when you are logged into the Agilent Community.

More information about Notification types

The Agilent Community supports the following notifications:

• Email - The system will generate an email to notify you about activities you have requested notifications for - such as about new forum threads in a forum where you are subscribed. Selecting the Email check box in the Settings > Notifications tab will enable the email notification.
• Live Alert - Live alerts are small slide-out notifications that alert you to the activity you've requested notifications about. In the above example, selecting the Live Alert check box in the Settings > Notifications tab will enable the slide-out notification that someone has posted a forum thread to a forum where you're subscribed. The slide-out notification contains live links to the activity.
