This guide will walk you through Impact's notifications and how to manage them from the admin page.
Notifications will always be sent to the user by email. Since notifications of events will be sent to users via email, it is important to make sure messages ending with @kiwaimpact.com are successfully delivered to users to guarantee a smooth user experience.
From the email notification, you can click through to Impact and view the document, task or SDS in question directly. If the button in the email doesn´t work, you can copy the link from the end of the email into your browser.
The guide on how to manage your own notifications in your own profile, you can find it in the Own Profile -guide.

Managing notifications on the admin page
On the admin page from the Notifications tab, you can manage all the above notifications per organization and per user. Below is a walkthrough of how to edit the organization and user-specific settings and their effects.
Organization's default settings
The organization's default settings can only be edited by account owners. These settings allow two things to be edited from the notifications, which are described below. These settings are independent of each other, so the standard organizational settings allow you to customize notifications to suit individual users and the organization.
Send notification
This setting determines by default setting when Impact sends or doesn´t send a notification as has been above described in this guide. When the option is checked, the notification will be sent to users and when the option is not checked, the notification will not be sent to users.
User can edit
This setting allows users to edit their own notifications through their own profile. This setting can be edited by each notification individually on or off. The Send notification setting in the organization’s default settings is the basis for users' notifications in their own profile. Users can switch notifications off or on in their own profile when tis User can edit setting in on.
User-specific notification settings
Account owners can edit the user-specific notification settings for each user in the admin page notifications tab. The steps for editing user-specific notifications are below.
1. Select the user you want from the user list left.
2. Select the notification which you want to turn on or off from the list on right.
