Notification Types Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Notification Types tab.

Notification Type Island

Field	Description
Notification Type	If you are creating a notification type, you can enter a name in this field. The type name cannot be changed.
Name	In this field, you can enter or change a description of the current notification type.
Internal Relation Name	This field displays the internal name of a Maconomy database relation. The relation must correspond to the internal relation name to which it is linked.
Synchronous Notification	Select this check box to enable synchronous calculation of approval notifications in Maconomy. Note that there are additional setup steps required to enable this functionality. For more information, refer to the Deltek Maconomy System Admin Guide.

Category Island

Field	Description
Notification Category	In this pop-up field, you can select a notification category defined in the Notification Categories workspace. For more information, please see the description of the Notification Categories workspace.
Name	This field shows the external name assigned to notifications of the category selected in the Notification Category field.
Life Cycle Definition No.	This field shows the number of the life cycle definition associated with the current notification type.
General Monitor No.	This field shows the number of the general monitor associated with the current notification type.
Duplicate management	In this pop-up field, you can see how Maconomy handles a situation in which a monitor generates two or more identical notifications of the current type. If this situation arises, four options are available for each notification type: Allow Duplicates — With this option, Maconomy permits the same notification to be generated and displayed multiple times. Keep First — With this option, Maconomy keeps the first notification generated and deletes any subsequent, identical notifications. Keep Last — With this option, Maconomy keeps the last notification generated and deletes any previous, identical notifications. Error when Encountering Duplicate — With this option, Maconomy will report an error if a notification is generated which is identical to previous notifications.
Notifications can be closed	Select the checkbox to specify if the notification can be closed by default. A notification can only be closed, if the notification type allows this. Maconomy uses this value as the default, when you create a new notification type.
Priority Type	In this field, you can select an option list. The option list should contain priority values. For instance, a notification category called “Alert” could refer to an option list with three values: “Green,” “Amber,” and “Red.” This way, an M-Script procedure can issue alerts of varying degrees of severity, for example, depending on the degree by which a job budget is exceeded. Please note that a default priority type may have been defined for the notification category in question in the workspace Notification Categories (or, for pre-Service Pack 5 workflows, in the workspace Popup Fields).
Standard Priority	In this field, you can enter the value of an option in the option list specified in the field “Priority Type” above. This value will be used as priority value when the notification of this type is raised, unless an M-Script procedure specifies otherwise.
