Configuring Email Notifications for Dynamic Commentary

Email Notifications for the Dynamic Commentary functionality helps you track actions in dynamic report comments, providing email notifications for the selected action based on your requirements. You can configure email notifications for Dynamic Commentary from Notification Settings. You will receive email notifications with hyperlinks to directly navigate to the respective product area. This helps you access reports and tasks quickly from emails.

The email hyperlink redirects you to the corresponding artifact (for example, a Dynamic Report, a SpotlightXL View, or a SpotlightXL Report) from which the comment was posted and also opens the corresponding Comment pop-up window. Furthermore, if the email notification is regarding an assigned task, the email hyperlink redirects you to the corresponding task on the Task Manager page.

Note:

The email for a comment posted in a SpotlightXL Excel  Reports does not contain a hyperlink to the report. It displays the name of the Excel Report and the sheet within the report in which the comment exists.

1. On the tenant’s toolbar, click Notifications, and then click Notification Settings (gear icon).
