Notification Preferences
Oracle Workflow allows you to determine how you view notifications by setting a notification preference in the User Preferences web page. See: Setting User Preferences
.
Often times, the functionality of a user's mail reader determines what the user's notification preference should be. Some mail readers can only display plain text, others can display HTML formatting, while still others can only display HTML formatting in an attachment. Five notification preferences are available:
- Plain text mail (MAILTEXT)--The notification message appears as plain text, with no attachments. See: Plain Text E-mail.
- HTML mail (MAILHTML)--The notification message appears as HTML-formatted text, with at least one other attachment that is a link to the notification in the Notifications web page. If the notification message has 'Content-Attached' message attributes, these attributes appear as additional attachments to the message. See: HTML-Formatted E-mail.
Attention: If you wish to view notifications with HTML formatting, but your mail reader is not able to interpret HTML formatting in the mail message body, change your notification preference to 'Plain text mail with HTML attachments' (MAILATTH). The MAILATTH preference delivers an HTML-formatted version of the notification as an attachment to the plain text notification.
- Plain text mail with HTML attachments (MAILATTH)--The notification message appears as plain text, with at least two other attachments. One attachment is an HTML-formatted version of the message, and the other is a link to the notification in the Notifications web page. If the notification message has 'Content-Attached' message attributes, these attributes appear as additional attachments to the message. See: Plain Text E-mail with an HTML Attachment.
- Plain text summary mail (SUMMARY)--The message is a plain text summary of all open notifications. To respond to the individual notifications in the summary, you must access the notifications from the Notifications web page.
- Do not send me mail (QUERY)--The Notification Mailer does not send you e-mail notifications. Instead you must query and respond to your notifications from the Notifications web page.
Attention: You can always query and respond to your notifications from the Notifications web page, even if you set your notification preference to send you mail.
