My notifications

Notifications keep you up-to-date on the latest activity initiated by the people and things you follow, even when you are not logged in to the Idera Newsfeed or SQLdm Mobile.

You can control what information you get and how you get it. Edit your notification settings to choose which activities are important to you and whether you want to receive an email when the SQLdm Mobile & Newsfeed Service sends you the corresponding notification.

TIP	To customize which notifications you receive, click edit settings on the My Notifications view or change your account settings.

When do I receive notifications?

You will receive notifications based on the notification settings you have enabled. By default, the SQLdm Mobile & Newsfeed Service generates notifications for most types of activity. Each time the specified activity happens, the service notifies you in "real time" by updating the My Notifications view and sending you an email.

Note that several notification settings rely on you, or someone else, to interact with a post or status update. For example, you can configure the SQLdm Mobile & Newsfeed Service to notify you when someone comments on a post you like. However, if you don't like any posts, you will not receive this notification.

How do I use the My Notifications view?

Use the My Notifications view to review notifications that have accumulated over the last 7 days. This view summarizes your notifications per type of activity per day.

Most notifications will include links to the servers and coworkers who initiated the activity.

How do I get an email notification?

In the Newsfeed navigation pane of the SQLdm Console, click Notifications and then click edit settings. On the My Notification Settings view, enable email notifications.

TIP	By default, the SQLdm Mobile & Newsfeed Service is configured to send you email notifications. If you are not receiving notifications when you think you should, verify that the Idera Newsfeed Platform has been configured to use the appropriate mail server.

How do I view notifications when I don't have email enabled?

On the SQLdm Mobile home page, tap Notifications.

Why am I getting 2 emails for each server alert?

Depending on your SQLdm alert configuration and your Idera Newsfeed notification settings, you may receive more than one email that notifies you about a server alert. To avoid duplicate emails about the same alert notification, change one of these settings:

• Disable all email notifications.
• Deselect the Posts a status update for something you own notification setting for application activity.
• Modify the Send an email to Alert Response setting in SQLdm by either disabling this action or changing the target recipients.
