Email Notifications

Email notifications alert users when asset data changes — such as new assets being discovered, software changes, or contract expirations. Notifications are configured per site and can be either subscription-based (users opt in) or targeted (sent to specific recipients).

Enabling Notifications

A default notification exists in the system and can be enabled through Site Settings (gear icon):

Email notification settings in Site Settings
