Notification Method

These preferences determine which methods you use for the following types of notifications:

• Non-subscription notifications

  These notifications do not require an intentional action by you to subscribe to them and are triggered automatically in the following situations:

  • Password expiration warning

    This notification is sent to you alerting you that your password is about to expire. This type of notification only applies when your system is set up for system authentication, rather than LDAP or SSO.

  • System license compliance

    This notification is sent to license administrators when system license counts approach or exceed license limits. For more information, see System Licensing.

  • Employee transaction modification

    This notification is sent to you if you started a Retro Calculator job and an employee's transaction was modified that may have an effect on the retro job in progress.

  • Education transaction entry

    This notification is sent to you if you submitted an education transaction that either was successful or failed.

• Mandatory event subscription notifications

  These notifications do not require an intentional action by you to subscribe to them and are triggered automatically for event subscriptions set up as mandatory. For example, there might be a mandatory event subscription that alerts you when a clocking or calendar request's status is changed by a manager or when a self-scheduling period opens.
