Configuring automatic subscriptions

Administrators can configure automatic subscriptions that editors automatically receive.

To configure automatic subscriptions:

1. Access automatic subscriptions by doing one of the following:
   

   To…	Access subscriptions…
   Configure role-level subscriptions	Click menu > Admin > Users & Roles. Select the role for which you want to configure a subscription. Toward the right of the widget, select more_horiz> Notifications. A widget appears. Under Automatic Subscriptions, click add_circle_outline. A form appears.
   Configure system-level subscriptions	Click menu > Admin > Sites & Settings > Sites > Global. Under CMS, expand Notifications. Under Automatic User Subscriptions, click add_circle_outline. A form appears.

2. From the Topic list, select the automatic subscription's topic. (For a description of the various topics, see Subscriptions.) A form appears.
3. (Optional, for workflow and publication subscriptions) Under Content Filters, design a content filter that sends notifications. As a best practice, design a content filter that triggers as few notifications as possible for the users receiving the notifications.
4. (For shared subscriptions) In the Subscription selection field, do one of the following:
   
   • Select one of the available shared subscriptions.
   • Create a new shared subscription.

   For information about shared subscriptions, see Configure a shared subscription.

5. (For global subscriptions) Under Tool Entities do the following:
   
   1. Click add_circle_outline. A selection field appears.
   2. Select an editor or role to receive this automatic subscription. If you select a role, all editors in that role receive the automatic notifications.
   3. Repeat steps a–b to add additional editors and roles.
6. Click Save.
