Digital Storage Manager provides a built-in notification feature that may be used to communicate information to users of the system. These notifications are generated based on specific events that occur in the system (for example, adding, updating, or deleting a record). Notification routines (the logic that determines when to generate a notification and to whom it should be sent) can only be defined by the Administrator user, though any user defined in the system may be the recipient of a notification.
Notification routines may be defined for any event which involves the addition, deletion, or update of information stored within the database records of the Retrieval Requests folder type.
A notification routine could be defined to notify the Archivist of the arrival of new requests for data retrieval from the archive.
Note: Notifications based on the Digital Resources folder type are not permitted.
