Creating user notification rules

You can create notification rules to stay informed about changes via email. Do not create notifications for every change because may receive a large amount of email.

You can also watch items to be notified about every change to them. You can enable notifications about specific items in one click. See Watching issues to be notified about changes.

1. Choose Tools > User Options then select the Notifications category.

2. Select an item Type. The items change based on the selected type.

Notification rules you added and any rules your administrator added for you are displayed.

3. Click Add to create a notification rule. See Adding user notification rules.

4. Select a rule and click Edit to change it. See Editing user notification rules.

Notifications are not sent for invalid rules, which are displayed in gray. For example, a rule becomes invalid if the filter used in the rule is deleted. You can edit an invalid rule to correct the problem.

5. Select a rule and click Inactivate to inactivate it. See Inactivating user notification rules.

6. Select a rule and click Delete to delete it. See Deleting user notification rules.

7. Click OK to save the changes.
