Setting up Ares email notifications
- Bee Bornheimer
If you subscribe to email notifications they will be sent to your My Emails box on the web when a new reserve item is added to a course. You can do this for each individual course. A regular email is also sent directly to the users @sandiego.edu email address. The notification/email indicates that the item is available for viewing from their web account.
Even if users are not subscribed, they will still receive other email notifications, such as when an item is cancelled or when custom staff emails are sent the user, such as incomplete citation for instructor-submitted item request.
Instructors and students can subscribe to receive emails and notifications for when items are added to a course using the following steps:
From the Main Menu, click on the course to which you want to subscribe
The Course Details page displays
Click on the Subscribe Now link. The message displays: You will now receive email notifications when items are added to the course.
To unsubscribe click on the "Please remove my subscription" link.
Click on My Emails link in the left hand navigation
Click on the New item posted link under the Subject column to view the notification. It is the same message that was sent to the user.
