Notifications

In 12d Synergy, you can be notified of the changes that happen to an entity such as a job, folder, or file using the Notifications option in the 12d Synergy Client application. These notifications are sent out as emails and can also be customised to your needs. Common reasons for notifications include when a file is added to the marked folder or when files are checked back in.

As a 12d Synergy Administrator, you can set notifications only for a job or a folder from the 12d Synergy Administration application.
