For details on automated alerts and notifications, refer to Notifications: Types.
Note the following about these preferences:
-
When searching for sub-resources, you can enter both the sub-resource name and its parent resource's name in the Name field. This will help narrow your search results.
-
The fields that appear in the Edit Status Change Preferences for (user) page depend on the type of resource and the status types associated with it.
