Finding Notifications and Rules

As time goes on, the number of notifications in your system may grow and it may be difficult to locate specific notifications or rules. SBM offers several ways to search for them.

Note: Notification searches are dependent on the workflow or auxiliary table related to the notification. You must first select the workflow or auxiliary table related to a notification before you can search for the notification by name. Searches are case-insensitive.

To find notifications in applications:
1. Type the name of the workflow in the Search for 'Workflow Name' box, and then select it in the results list.
2. Type the name of the notification in the Search for 'Notification Name' box.
3. Click the notification name in the results list to open and edit it.
To find notifications in auxiliary tables:
1. Click Auxiliary Tables at the top of the left pane.
2. Select the table that contains the notification.
3. Type the name of the notification in the Search for 'Notification Name' box.
4. Click the notification name in the results list to open and edit it.
To find rules from within a notification:
1. Click a notification name.
2. On the General page, search for a rule by name in the When box.
3. Select a rule from the list.
  Note: Only rules applicable to the notification's workflow or table are returned.
To find rules from the Notifications view:
1. Select Rules.
2. To find rules for applications, type the name of the workflow in the Search for 'Workflow Name' box, and then select it in the results list.
  Note: To search for a rule in an auxiliary table, first select the specific table.
3. Type the name of the rule in the Search for 'Rule Name' box.
4. Click the rule name in the results list to open and edit it.
To find which notifications use a specific rule:
1. In Rules view, search for the rule you need.
2. Select the rule. The related notifications are listed in the bottom pane.
3. Click a notification to open and edit it.
To find notifications sent as escalations:
One notification can send another notification if action has not been taken on an item. The subsequent notification sent is referred to as an escalation notification.

When you select an escalation notification in the Notifications list, the original notification on which escalation is based is listed in the Related Notifications list.
To find notifications that do not have subscribers:
In the Notifications view with a list of notifications visible, change the All filter to No Subscribers.
To find rules that are not assigned to notifications:
In Rules view, change the All filter to Not Used.
