e-PlanREVIEW® (EPR) user can subscribe to a variety of event-based notifications to trigger emails from their user profile whenever they would like.

User Notification Settings

Administrators can choose which events will trigger an email notification for a user from the account’s NOTIFICATIONS tab.

How to Set Up Notifications

To configure user email notifications:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Security > Users in the navigation panel.

  2. Search for a user account by scrolling through or typing their email address directly into the email column header.

  3. Click on (blue star) (right-facing arrow) to open the user profile.

  4. Click on the NOTIFICATIONS tab.

  5. Check the box for 'Email notifications to...' at the top for the user.

    1. If this box remains checked, the user will not receive notifications for any of the events selected in this tab.

  6. Check the box next to any notification(s) that should trigger emails to this user.

  7. Click the SAVE button to confirm these choices.

Administrators can always update any user’s profile notifications. You can also update your own notification settings at any time while logged into EPR by clicking on (blue star) (user profile) to open your account profile and going to the NOTIFICATIONS tab.

Here is a breakdown of all available notification options and how they are triggered. Unless specifically stated, user role is not considered when determining who receives a notification.

Recommended Notifications

Each user should be subscribed to the events that are relevant to them/their role. Users subscribed to an event will receive an email notification from EPR whenever the event is triggered, as recorded in the event log. The following basic notification subscriptions are recommended, though Agencies are welcome to define their own recommended (or even required) notification subscriptions for staff.

User Role

Description

Example(s)

Administrators

Any event notifications, but especially those related to User administrative functions such as new user requests and the creation of user accounts to ensure that Admins are keeping track of licenses and who has access to their EPR environment.

Auth and User Account notification options are only available to the Administrator.

Project Coordinators

Any notifications related to intake, assignment creation, reassignment, assignment status changes, and/or project status changes since these allow staff to track application progress and trigger additional workflow steps as appropriate.

Select Status Changed to Cycle Complete to know when all reviewers have completed a current review cycle for an application.

Reviewers, Group Managers, and/or Project Managers

Notifications informing someone that a plan review assignment or reassignment has been created for them.

Contributors

Select the Allow Response notification to allow for a variety of comment response-related notifications to trigger as explained in the Notifications Options table.
