To keep track of all the activity happening in your site, you can choose to receive alerts and email notifications for user- and asset-related administrative tasks. When there's activity that needs your attention, you'll be notified in the app, or you can receive an email about it. If you'd like, select to receive both emails and alerts.
A list with the type and number of alerts displays from the bell icon by your user profile. Select the alert type to see more about the activity.
If you prefer to receive email notifications, you can receive those when updates are made. Emails include a message about the purpose of the notification and a link that will take you to the appropriate page in the Acquia DAM.
Note that when you read notifications within your site, you will not receive email notifications for those assets.
Choose which notifications you receive and how you receive them from your user settings in your user profile.
