# Notification Configuration and Assignment

### Using Assignment Overview to Manage Notification Assignments

The Assignment Overview tab is used to assign notification configurations and review the overall notification setup for users.

This section is useful when you want to add multiple users at the same time, assign default notification settings, or make quick changes to notification delivery channels.

### Procedure

1. Go to **Electronic Logs**.
2. From the site navigation bar, select **Site Settings**.
3. Scroll down to the **Notification Settings** section.
4. Select the Assignment Overview tab
5. Select **Manage Explicit Recipients**.
6. Use the search bar to find the user you want to add.
7. You may add one user at a time or select multiple users.
8. Click **Save Recipients**.

Once saved, the selected users will be added to the notification assignment overview. Their notification settings will carry over from the default **Department Policies**, unless a user-specific notification policy has already been configured.

### Update Notification Delivery Channels

In the **Assignment Overview** tab, each notification event type includes delivery channel icons. You can use these icons to quickly adjust how each user should be notified for each event.

The available options are:

| Icon / Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Bell Icon** | Sends an **In-App Notification** only |
| **Mailbox Icon** | Sends an **Email Notification** only |
| **Both Icon** | Sends both **Email and In-App Notifications** |
| **None Icon** | The user will not receive notifications for that event |

#### Icon Selection Behavior

When a delivery channel is selected, the icon will appear **outlined and highlighted**.

If an icon is **grayed out**, it means no delivery channel has been selected for that notification event.

### User Policies (User-Specific Notification Configuration)

The **User Policies** is used to assign specific notification settings for individual users.

Use this tab when a user needs notification settings that are different from the default settings applied through **Department Policies** or from a selected **Notification Profile**.

### Procedure

- Go to **Electronic Logs**.
- From the site navigation bar, select **Site Settings**.
- In the **Site Settings** page, scroll down to the **Notification Settings** section.
- Under **Notification Settings**, select **User Policies**.
- Find the user you want to assign notification settings to. You can either select the user from the dropdown list or search by typing the user’s name.
- Once the user is selected, the system will display a list of available notification events.
- For each notification event, select the appropriate delivery channel from the dropdown menu.
- The available delivery channel options are: 
    - Email Notification
    - In-App Notification
    - Both Email and In-App Notification
    - Do Not Notify
- Choose the notification method that should apply for that user.

### Manage Notification Profile

Notification profiles allow you to quickly apply the notification types to the user instead of selecting each notification event and delivery channel one by one for every user. You can create a notification profile once and then assign that profile to the appropriate users.

- Go to **Electronic Logs**.
- From the site navigation bar, select **Site Settings**.
- Scroll down to the **Notification Settings** section.
- Select **Manage Profiles**.
- Click **Create New Profile**.
- Enter a profile name.  
  Example: **Bench Users**
- Configure the delivery channel for each notification event.
- Once all notification events have been configured, click **Save Profile**.

### Configuring Department Notification Policies

Department policies allow you to set default notification rules for each department. These policies are useful when individual user notification policies have not been specifically configured.

If a user does not have a custom notification policy, the system will apply the default department notification policy when that user is added in the **Assignment Overview** section.

### Procedure

- Go to **Electronic Logs**.
- From the site navigation bar, select **Site Settings**.
- Scroll down to the **Notification Settings** section.
- Select the **Department Policies** tab.
- Choose the department you want to configure.
- Select the appropriate delivery channel for each notification event.
- Save the department policy once the notification settings have been configured.
