Notifications

Admins choose which activity emails xBit sends. The switches apply to everyone; users can't change them for themselves.

Go to Admin > About / Settings > E-MAIL / SMTP. The Notifications section shows only while ENABLE SMTP is on (see Email / SMTP).

1. Notify on Evidence Assignment
2. Notify on Reviewer Request
3. Notify on Review Start
4. Notify on Submitted Request from External Users

All four are on by default, and each saves as soon as you change it.

What each switch sends

Switch	Emails	Sent to
Notify on Evidence Assignment	Evidence Assigned	The user an evidence item is assigned to, when it's assigned or created with an assignee.
Notify on Reviewer Request	Review Requested	The requested reviewers and the evidence's people (below). Not sent when default reviewers are added.
Notify on Review Start	Ready for Review, Review Started, Review Ended	The evidence's people (below).
Notify on Submitted Request from External Users	New lab submission request	All enabled Admins.

The evidence's people are:

• its reviewers for that review level (review emails only)
• the users it's assigned to, and who triaged, imaged or examined it
• the external user who requested it, if it came from a lab submission request

Emails the switches don't control

While email is on, xBit always sends these:

• sign-in codes, password reset links and account setup links
• external users' sign-in codes, and access approved or denied emails
• review and comment emails (see Evidence Reviews)
• Asset Assigned (see Asset Manager), when an asset is saved with Send notifications on. If the asset has an expiry date, the email gives it and says a reminder will follow.
• asset and API key expiry reminders, a month before the expiry date
