Administrators can set default
Email Notification Settings for events that occur within the folder. These will apply to users who do not specify their own email preferences.
The following events can trigger email notifications, which can be sent at the time of an event or in digest form. Daily digest notifications are sent at 12:05AM.
- File events (creation, deletion, and metadata changes)
- Message board events
- Report events, such as changes to report content or metadata. For details see Manage Data Views
These default email preference settings apply only to users who have not set personal email preferences. Email delivery to users with custom set preferences will not be affected by changing the default settings. See below for how an administrator can change custom set preferences on behalf of users.
Note: Deactivated users and users who have been invited to a create an account, but have never logged in, are not sent email notifications by the server. This is true for all of the email notification mechanisms provided by LabKey Server, such as by the
Issue Tracker and the
Assay Request Tracker.
