Alerts and Notifications
The Analyst tool generates notifications when changes are made to Glossary assets and business initiatives with which you are associated. Information such as status updates is sent as notifications to you. You do not receive notifications for changes that you initiate but other content managers do.
The Analyst tool displays notifications in the header that appears at the top of the user interface. When you receive an alert on the Analyst tool header, you can view the notifications in the Notification panel. You can view the Notification panel in every workspace.
The Analyst tool generates notifications in the following scenarios:
- •Data stewards, stakeholders, and owners receive notifications when you propose an asset for review.
- •Data stewards, stakeholders, and owners receive notifications when you publish or reject the asset. Followers receive notifications only when you publish the asset.
- •Data stewards, stakeholders, and owners receive notifications when you or other stakeholders add comments to an asset.
- •Data stewards of governed business terms receive notifications when you propose, publish, or reject the governing policies.
- •Data stewards of business terms that are related to a term receive a notification when you propose, publish, or reject the term. This is not true when the term is part of a business initiative and the term is proposed, published or rejected as part of the business initiative.
- •Data stewards of business terms that are related to a term, stakeholders, and asset owners receive a notification at the reminder time of the voting process.
- •Data stewards receive a notification at the start of the escalation interval and after the completion of the approval workflow.
- •Data stewards of assets that are part of a business initiative receive notifications when you propose, publish, or reject the initiative.
- •Data stewards, stakeholders, and owners of assets which are part of a business initiative receive a notification when the asset phase changes to pending publish.
- •Data stewards and owners of business terms receive a notification when you or other stakeholders link business terms to data assets or rule assets.
The Analyst tool also sends the same notifications via email. To receive notifications over email, an administrator must enable and configure the Email Service in the Administrator tool.
View Notifications
You can view the notifications that you received, delete notifications, mark notifications as read, or refresh the list to view the latest notifications.
An alert on the Analyst tool header indicates that you have a notification.
To view the notifications, from the Manage menu, select Notifications. Alternatively, you can click the notification in the Analyst tool header. You can view notification details such as the name of the sender, description of the notification, and the date and time when you received the notification.

In the Analyst tool header, open Glossary Settings under Manage to configure your notification preference.
