How to Subscribe to Notifications

This guide shows you how to subscribe yourself to notifications and choose the delivery channel.

Prerequisites

  • For self-subscription: a working AlloyScan account on the site.
  • The notifications you want to subscribe to are available on the site. Site Administrators configure the underlying notification templates; see the Administration Guide for the per-site template workflow.

Steps

Subscribe to Site notifications

  1. Click the bell icon (🔔) in the application header to open the Notifications side panel.

  2. Click the gear icon inside the panel labeled Manage alert subscriptions.

  3. Find the notification you want to subscribe to. All notifications shows all notifications available to your role on the Site, including your existing subscriptions. Use search to filter the list. Administrators see Administrative, Standard, and Conditional categories; Users see Standard and Conditional categories.

  4. Select Subscribe for the notification. For a Conditional group, select Open to subscribe first.
  5. Choose one or both delivery channels:
    • In-app — shown inside AlloyScan via the bell icon.
    • Email — delivered by the instance Email client.
  6. Confirm the subscription.

Note: Self-managed subscriptions take effect for the current user only. Site Administrators can review the Site's subscriptions from Admin Center > Notifications > Subscriptions.

Tip: Select the My subscriptions tab to show only the notifications you are subscribed to. The selected delivery channels appear as In-app and Email badges.

Subscribe to global notifications

NOTE: The Global tab is visible only to Global Administrators.

The Global tab lets you subscribe to Administrative notifications about instance-level events, such as app-registration expiration. System notifications are sent automatically and do not require subscriptions.

  1. Open the Manage alert subscriptions catalog from the bell icon.
  2. Select the Global tab. Global Administrators see both Site and Global tabs; the Site tab contains the Site catalog described above.
  3. Select Subscribe for an Administrative notification and choose In-app, Email, or both.

Verify

  1. Trigger an event covered by the subscribed notification — for example, complete a discovery scan that introduces a new device for a New computer detected subscription.
  2. For Email-channel subscriptions, check your inbox for the notification.
  3. For In-app subscriptions, click the bell icon (🔔) and confirm the new entry appears in the Notifications side panel.

NOTE: If an expected email never arrives, check your email address and ask a Site Administrator to check notification delivery.
