Setting pre-conditions

Once you have added a notification, you can set any number of pre-conditions for notifying users based on evaluating user statistics stored in the USERSTAT table or users’ membership in user classes. This may improve performance by sending notifications to a subset of users.

To define pre-conditions based on user statistics:

  1. On the Notification information page for a notification, click the Pre-conditions tab.

  2. Type the name of the USERSTAT tag.

  3. Select the comparison rule to determine that the tag value Must or Must not :

    • be equal to

    • be less than

    • be greater than

    • exist

  4. Type the value used to evaluate the tag.

  5. Select the value type.

  6. Click Update.

To define pre-conditions based on user classes:

  1. On the Notification information page for a notification, click the Pre-conditions tab, then the User classes link.

  2. Click Select... to select existing user class or click on Add new... to create new user class.

    See Adding user classes for details on creating a new user class.

  3. Click Update.
