Managing space notifications

You can receive notifications for activities and events in shared and managed spaces.

Your notifications can be managed from Profile settings in the profile menu for all your space-related notifications, or from Notifications in an individual space. In Notifications, you can subscribe to events and actions by selecting the method of notification you would like to receive.

For information about setting default notification settings, see Profile settings.

Information note

Groups cannot receive notifications. If you have been added to a space as a part of a group, you cannot receive notifications from that space.

Information note

Email notifications require an email server configured for your tenant. If email notifications cannot be selected in Notifications, your tenant administrator may not have configured an email server.

Changing notification settings for all spaces

You can configure the default (tenant-level) settings for all spaces you can access in the Qlik Cloud tenant. Default notification settings are configured in Profile settings.

The default notification settings apply to all spaces you can access, unless a custom notification has been created for an individual space or resource within it.

When custom notifications are set for an individual space or resource (example: an app), the order of priority outlined at Custom notifications is applied to evaluate whether the notification will still be sent.

  1. Go to your profile settings by opening your user profile menu in Qlik Cloud and clicking Profile settings.

  2. Under Default notifications, expand notification categories as needed.

  3. Check or clear the checkboxes for each notification and delivery preference.

Changing notification settings for an individual space

When you change the notification settings for a single space, you are setting custom notifications. Custom notification settings applied to an individual space override the default settings that are configured in Profile settings.

When custom notifications are set for an individual space or resource (example: an app), the order of priority outlined at Custom notifications is applied to evaluate whether the notification will still be sent.

  1. In the Analytics activity center, open Catalog.

  2. Select a space using the filter options.

  3. Click Space details, and then select Notifications.

  4. Expand notification categories as needed.

  5. Check or clear the checkboxes for each notification and delivery preference.

Existing custom notifications can also be changed or removed from Profile settings.

Custom notifications

There are three levels of notification settings in Qlik Cloud: default (tenant-level), space-level, and resource-level. Space-level and resource-level notification settings are custom notifications. They are organized in the following structure, from most global to most granular:

  • Default notifications (Added in Profile settings)

    • Space-level (Added in Catalog)

      • Resource-level (for example, an individual app)

With custom notifications, default and space-level notifications can be overridden by configuring custom settings for entities (spaces or resources) located within that specific entity.

When evaluating whether or not to send notifications for a resource, the setting on the most granular (deeply nested) item in the structure takes priority. In other words, the following order of priority applies (with item 1 being of highest priority, and so on):

  1. Resource-level (for example, an individual app)

  2. Space-level (Added in Catalog)

  3. Default notifications (Added in Profile settings)

Example

Suppose these are all the settings that have been configured by a user for failed reloads:

  • A default (tenant-level) notification setting to only send web notifications.

  • A space named ExampleSpace has a notification setting to send all types of notifications, including web notifications.

  • An app in ExampleSpace, named ExampleApp, has a notification setting to not receive any type of notification.

In this example, all apps in the tenant except those in ExampleSpace will generate web notifications only. All apps in ExampleSpace except ExampleApp will generate all types of notifications, including web notifications. ExampleApp will not generate any notifications.
