Screen Email Notifications

Introduction

This guide explains how to configure and manage notification settings per screen within your account, ensuring you stay informed about screen status changes (e.g., when a player goes offline or comes back online).


Configuring Notifications for a Screen

Where can I find this setting?

Each screen allows customized notification settings. You can define:

  • When to be notified if a player goes offline.
  • Whether to receive notifications during scheduled turn off, working hours, etc.
  • Whether to receive alerts when the player comes back online.
  • Who the notification recipients are.

Email Notification Timing

Set how long the system should wait before sending an offline alert:

  • Do not notify – No email is sent.
  • 30 minutes
  • 2 hours
  • 6 hours
  • 12 hours
  • Custom – Any duration between 30 minutes and 48 hours, in 30-minute intervals.

Notifications During Scheduled Turn off, Working Hours, etc

This setting defines whether you receive alerts when a screen is manually turned off or goes offline.

StatusDescription
EnabledUsers will receive notifications even if the screen is manually turned off or goes offline.
DisabledNotifications are sent only when the screen is scheduled to be on. Off-hours muting is ignored.

Notifications When Player is Back Online

Control whether you are alerted when a player resumes connection:

StatusDescription
EnabledUsers receive an email alert within 5 minutes of the player reconnecting.
DisabledNo alert is sent when the player is back online.

Managing Notification Recipients

Only users with Device Manager access can be selected as recipients. Notification recipients can:

  • Add or remove others (or themselves) from the list.
  • Share the same notification settings for that screen.
StatusResult
Users in the listThey receive notifications as configured.
No users in the listNo email notifications are sent.
All usersAll newly created/invited users will get the notifications

Workspaces & Notifications

If screens are moved between workspaces:

  • All users can access the new workspace → All remain in the list.
  • Some users lack access → Only users with access to both old and new workspaces stay in the list.

Editing Notification Settings

Per Screen

Users can edit notification settings for each screen individually from the Screens List View.

Bulk Editing

You can apply changes to multiple screens at once:

  • Per Workspace or Across Workspaces
  • Options:
    • Change Setup – Modify all notification options. Existing settings will be overwritten.
    • Add/Remove Recipients – Modify the recipient list only. Setup options remain unchanged.

User Profile Notification Settings

Each user has global notification preferences in their Profile Settings:

StatusDescription
Enabled (Opted In)The user is eligible to receive notifications from the screens to which they are subscribed.
Disabled (Opted Out)User remains subscribed but will not receive emails.

If a user re-enables notifications, they resume receiving alerts for screens where they are listed.


How Notifications Work

The system sends email notifications based on the following logic:

  1. A player goes offline.
  2. The offline duration is tracked.
  3. When the configured threshold is reached, an email is sent to the mailing list.
  4. If the “notify when back online” option is enabled:
    • An email is sent within 5 minutes of the player reconnecting.

Unsubscribing from Email Notifications

Users can opt out from within an email. When they do:

  • They are removed from the mailing list.
  • They no longer receive notifications.
  • If they opt back in, they will be re-alerted for subscribed screens.

Adding New Screens

When users add new screens to the portal, those screens:

  • Inherit the default notification settings (6 hours) defined by the system.
  • Default Notification Settings:
    • Notify after 6 hours
    • Do not notify during scheduled turn-off
    • Do not notify when the player is back online
    • Notification Users: All Users
