WFDSS Help | Managing Notification Lists

Managing Notification Lists

Administrators and Geographic Area Editors manage notification lists from the Administration tab. Geographic Editors have access only to the Geographic Area Summary and the Fire Behavior Requests. Administrators and GA Editors can review user profiles to determine those profiles not accessed in a specified number of days. The user has the option of exporting the Notification Lists to an Excel spreadsheet.

There are notification lists for:

FLAME Act Report
User Profiles
Other
Weather Related
Service Broker Failure
User Feedback
Decision/FLAME Act Failures
Geographic Area Summary
Oversight Summary
Fire Behavior Requests

When you subscribe to these notifications, you have two choices; to subscribe by WFDSS User ID or by an email address.

If you choose User ID, then the notifications are sent via text to the cell phone (if you've generated an alternate email address) and the email address listed in your WFDSS Contact Information
If you'd like to receive the notifications via an email address other than what is listed in your Contact Information, you may enter it here.

The option you choose impacts the way you receive notifications about things you've subscribed to, such as fire behavior requests. If you subscribe with your User ID, the you receive personal email notifications about these types of requests. If you subscribe with an email address other than what's listed in your contact information, you will receive a group email notification addressed to all users signed up with that option. If the "right" people do not seem to be included in these group emails, there are other ways to subscribe.
