Overview

Once a user has been authorized to flag content, they can subscribe to a list of events applicable to an evidence or case that they have access to within the portal.


To learn more about the feature, see: Understanding Alert Generation Policy for Sensitive File Access.


Before you start

  • Manager+ users are authorized to further assign flagging permission to one or more user groups. Once this permission is assigned to any group, its members will not only have the right to receive notifications via email but also be able to customize the notification policy as per their requirements. Click, to see: How to Assign Custom Permissions to a Specific Group.


Set Default Notification Preferences

A user who is authorized to receive Alerts will also be able to manage settings for these notifications. Before flagging any evidence/case, users can set their default notification preferences via User Profile section - which will then be applied on all evidence or case that they flag from that point onwards.


Note: If you choose to set your default notification preferences when you have already flagged some evidence(s) or case(s) in your portal, note that the preferences would not apply on them and will only be applicable on evidence(s) or case(s) you flag thereafter.


1. From the DEM Portal Homepage

i. Click on your User Name to open My Profile Section.

ii. Now, select the Notification Settings options.



iii. Notification Settings page will be opened. From this screen, one can manage notification settings for below:

a. Global: This section contain general settings related to workflow processing, media feedback, etc. This tab may not be visible to every user who has the permission to flag since it is dependent on the user's role.

b. Evidence: This section contains alerts that are applicable on all types of digital evidence such as image, audio, video, document. VIDIZMO provides you the flexibility of setting a different policy for each type of digital evidence.

c. Case: This section contains alerts that are applicable on Cases within the portal such as when an evidence is added to a Case, or when a Case's access rights have changed, etc.



Once you set your default notification preferences, you won't be bothered to set preferences for every evidence or case when you flag them. However, in the absence of a default policy, we will ask you to set preferences at the time of flagging.

1. From the DEM Portal Homepage.

Note: Once you do this, VIDIZMO DEMS will remember these settings so you will not have to manage these settings every time flagging case/evidence.
