Adding or Editing a Metadata Notifier

Metadata notifiers cannot be edited. If you wish to alter an existing notifier you may need to remove the undesired notifier by clicking the 'Delete' button next to it. To create a new Metadata Notifier:

  1. Load up the Metadata Notification Manager.
  2. You can now click 'New Notifier'.
  3. Select a metadata element from the dropdown list to filter by. In the example we are selecting the 'title' field and 'Business Name' as the object attribute.
  4. Click 'Create'.
  5. Your new notifier will now appear in the Manager's list and any objects that are saved with a title of 'Business Name' will have their details emailed to you.
