Manage Notifications for Rules
Table of Contents
This document describes how to manage notifications so you can be alerted when Syncro's audit of a Tenant violates one or more Rules in its attached Baseline.
Notes: Notifications for Rules:
- Follow our standard conventions for customizing & assigning notifications via the Notification Center. For Rule notifications to work, you must also check one or more boxes for the “Baselines - Compliance Rule status updated” event. See also Notification Events Reference.
- Are OFF by default (so you don't get inundated with alerts when the Baseline activates). You should enable notifications for the specific Rules you care about most.
View Existing Notifications
A notification for a Rule inside a Baseline is ON when:
- a green checkmark appears in the Notification column of the Rules list:
- and the “Notification” Auto Response is toggled ON in the Rule Details panel:
This means you'll receive whichever type of notification you've configured (for example, “In-App Notify” and/or Email) if an audit finds that an attached Syncro Tenant violates the Rule. (See also: Customize & Assign Notifications.)
Create a New Notification
In the Baselines module, there are two ways you can set notifications. The first method works better for a single Rule; the second works better for multiple Rules.
For a single Rule, follow these steps:
- Click a row in the Rules list to display the Rule's Details panel.
- In the Auto Response section, click the Notification toggle to turn it On or Off.
- Click Save Rule Changes to confirm, or Clear Rule Changes to cancel.
For one or more Rules, follow these steps:
- Check one or more boxes next to Rule(s) in the Rules list.
- Click the “Set Rules” dropdown menu, then select either “Notify” or “Don't Notify.”
- Click Save Rule Changes to confirm, or Clear Rule Changes to cancel.
Use In-App Notifications
If an audit finds that an attached Syncro Tenant violated the Rule, the bell icon in the Syncro Header alerts you:
When you click the bell icon, the Notifications side panel shows more details about the rule failure:
Click the red X to dismiss the notification, or click the notification itself to view details about the failed rule.
