System Default Notification Settings
General Notifications Information
This page is accessible to Set-Up Administrators only. In order to navigate to the Notifications page, a set-up administrator must select Settings > User Management > Notifications.
Select a User Type (or Role, where applicable) to define which users should receive a notification.
Use the checkboxes below to limit the users who will be notified. These options rely on each user's alignments, which can be verified and updated through the User Management page.
Email Addresses added through this page will receive the corresponding type of notification every time the relevant conditions are met (e.g., every time an out-of-tolerance measurement occurs on any part), regardless of the settings configured above.
Users may also be added at the bottom of the page. If the "Opt In" checkbox is marked for a user, a notification will be sent to their "Alerts & Notifications Email Address" every time the notification's conditions are met, regardless of the page's other settings. If the "Opt Out" checkbox is marked, the user will never receive an email when this type of notification occurs. (Users may add themselves to this list through their respective Alignments pages, which can be accessed through the "My Settings" option under the profile button in the top-right of each page.) For more information on individual user notifications, see Personal User Notifications.

FAIR
FAI Workflow Pending Action
A FAIR has just reached a workflow step relevant to the notified user. The user's workflow step was triggered either by initiation of a new FAIR, approval of the preceding workflow step, or disapproval of its following step.
FAI Pending Buyoff
A FAIR has been submitted by a supplier or an internal user, or -- if your company has set up a customer workflow -- the FAIR's customer workflow has just been completed. The FAIR is now available to be bought off by your company.
FAI Customer Buyoff/Disposition
A FAIR created by your company has been approved, conditionally approved, or disapproved by its Customer. By default the user that has signed form 1 field 21 and any assigned to user will receive this notification.
FAI Customer Workflow Pending Action
A FAIR has just reached a customer workflow step relevant to the notified user. The user's customer workflow step was triggered either by submission of a FAIR to your company by a supplier or internal user, approval of the preceding customer workflow step, or (in rare cases) reversal of the customer workflow to a previous step. By default these are sent to users in the aligned department and alignment to the same division on the FAIR. These are also sent to the user that disapproved the workflow step when a FAIR is re-submitted by supplier - this notification replaces the re-submission notification for assigned to users when companies use a customer workflow.
