To enable the E-mail notification, the Administrator must enable the Enable User Notification For Asset Allocated to Multiple Users checkbox on the APPLICATION SETTINGS BY TENANT page. For more information. For more information, see Application Settings.

If the Manager’s approval is configured for the Reconciliation process, the remaining users get E-mail notification about the updated Floor/Cubicle information. Subsequently, the Asset Inventory is updated after the Manager approves the Reconciliation.

For Example:

Consider a laptop allocated to William and Ryan on a shift basis. William found that the Floor information is invalid and accordingly updated the actual Floor information. Then, Ryan gets an E-mail notification about the Floor information changes made by William.

  • If the Manager's approval is configured for an Asset Reconciliation, a system-generated E-mail is sent to the Admin on behalf of the Manager upon the completion of the Asset Reconciliation process.
