Notification Searches

The notification searches settings controls the notifications that are displayed on the home page when a user logs into KwikWork.  It uses a search template to display changes that have been made for the life of the system or over a specific period of time.  When the search template that is being used for notifications is being created, the 'Results Display' is used to choose which document properties will be tracked and allows KwikWork to provide user with detailed information on which properties were changed.  The feature is enabled by selecting the search template from the 'Notification Searches' parameter in the configuration panel. The feature initially takes a baseline of the documents in the repository based on the parameters of the notifications search template which KwikWork uses to find any changes.  Therefore, if an existing document is not part of the initial search, it would show as new in the notifications dashboard after it has been updated.  Administrators should take this into consideration creating the search template to avoid any confusion of the end user.  Additionally, this should NOT be a broad search of the repository or of all versions.  Instead specific document classes and current or released versions should be used when the template is created.
