Enabling and configuring actionable notifications

Actionable notifications enable editors to take an action on an asset directly from a notification. You enable this feature and configure associated settings at the global level.

2. Expand CMS > Notifications.
3. Under Action Settings, do the following:
   

   

   • To enable or disable actionable notifications, from the Enable Actions list, select Enabled or Disabled.
   • To open a corresponding content edit page in the same browser tab as the notification or in a different tab, from the Result URL Target list, select Same Window or New Tab.
   • To add a delay before opening the associated content edit page, in the Result URL Auto Redirect Delay, enter a value up to 30 seconds.
4. Click Save.

Configuring actions in email notifications

You can add actions to notifications editors receive via email.
