Notification - Overview

Overview

The notification settings allow you to control the format and appearance of email notifications sent out by MOVEit DMZ.

Return Address

The return address is the address from which notification messages will appear to come. (e.g., automation@stdnet.com)

Hint: Set this value to a real email address if you would like to be notified of email notifications which cannot be delivered. (Delivery failure messages will be sent back to this return address.)

Signature

This setting allows an Admin to configure the signature string that appears at the end of notification emails from this organization. Instances of the macro text [ORGNAME] will be replaced by the organization name. By default, the Signature is [ORGNAME] Notification Service. Normally the signature will be proceeded by the phrase Regards,

This field supports intra-string language tags.

Format

This setting determines the default email notification format which will be applied to new users created in the organization. The available formats are HTML and Text. When the value of this setting is changed, the administrator will also have the option of applying the change to all existing users in the organization.

HTML-formatted notifications contain stylesheet references and inline images to help match their appearance with the DMZ web interface. These references are taken from the settings of the organization that originated them, meaning organization color schemes, icons, and font information are all maintained in the emails that end users receive.

However, some email servers consider inline images an indication of spam, and block emails that contain them. The Text-format option is provided for those whose email servers prevent the receiving of HTML messages.

Customization

The content of email notifications can be customized in two ways. A set of check-box options called Items Displayed can be used to set a broad policy for what information is sent over clear-text email. See the Web Interface - Settings - Appearance - Notification - Items Displayed page for more information.

For finer control over the content of email notifications, you can create and edit custom notifications through the DMZ web interface. Custom versions of the email notifications can be assigned to an entire organization, in a multi-org system, or can be limited to specific User Groups within an organization. See the Web Interface - Settings - Appearance - Notification - Custom page for more information.
