Configure Business Rules to Send Notifications (Master Data Services)

[!INCLUDE SQL Server - Windows only ASDBMI]

[!INCLUDE support-notice]

In [!INCLUDEssMDSshort], configure business rules to send notifications when you want to notify users about attribute value changes.

Prerequisites

To perform this procedure:

• You must have permission to access the System Administration and User and Group Permissions functional areas. If you do not have permission to the User and Group Permissions functional area, you cannot view the list of users and groups to send notifications to.

• You must be a model administrator. For more information, see Administrators (Master Data Services).

• A business rule that uses a validation action must already exist. For more information, see Create and Publish a Business Rule (Master Data Services).

• The user or group that receives the notification must have at least Read-only permission to the attribute that fails validation. Users or groups that are explicitly or implicitly denied permission to the attribute will receive the email but will not be able to access the attribute in [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm].

• If mail is sent to a group, only members of the group that have accessed [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm] will get the email.

To configure business rules to send notifications

1. In [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm], click System Administration.

2. From the menu bar, point to Manage and click Business Rules.

3. On the Business Rules page, from the Model list, select a model.

4. From the Entity drop-down list, select an entity.

5. From the Member Types drop-down list, select a type of member.

6. In the grid, select the row for the business rule you want to edit and click Edit.

7. Select the Send Notifications check-box and from the drop-down list select a user or group to send the email notification to.

8. Click Save.

9. Click Publish All.

10. On the confirmation dialog box, click OK. The value in the Business Rule State column changed to Active and the Notification column shows the selected user or group to send notification to.
