User Notification Preferences

Notifications are generated by CDO whenever a device associated with your tenant experiences a specific event, such as whenever a device associated with your tenant experiences a specific action, a device certificate is expiring or has expired, or a background log search starts, finishes or fails. The following notifications are enabled by default and displayed for every user that is affiliated with the tenant regardless of the user role. You can modify your personal notification preference to only show alerts you are interested in. Note that these preference are yours only and do not affect other users associated with the tenant.

Note

Changes made to the notifications listed below are automatically updated in real time and do not require deployment.
