Setting alerts for files/file folders

P

Peeger

I can't seem to override the default alert settings for my workspaces. The
"Default Unread Alert Level" under Options | Preferences | Alerts i set to
Auto. In the Files Tool however I want to be able to turn off the alerts for
certain files and/or folders. Goin in to Properties | Alerts and changing the
alert level (Unread Alert Level for [folder name]). Setting it to Off means
"Don't display an alert for new or modified content." That sounds perfect to
me. Only it doesn't work. The alerts keep coming no matter what... What's
wrong?

I use version 3.1 a.2374

Hi Peeger,

To turn off the alerts for a folder/file, please just right click the Folder
or the File > choose Properties > in Alerts tab, set it as Off.

Do you perform the above steps to turn off alerts for sepcific folders/files
in Files Tool?

Hi again,

Thank you and I'm sorry. Yes, I have performed the steps you described. Of
course I almost said. It's both intuitive and well documented in the help
text. It doesn't work though. (However, overriding the Download settings for
files/folders works just fine...)

I just reread my post and no wonder you had to ask that question. Gee, I
guess I must have been in a hurry. ...or in a coma. The following sentences
was supposed to tell exactly that.:
"Goin in to Properties | Alerts and changing the alert level (Unread Alert
Level for [folder name]). Setting it to Off means "Don't display an alert for
new or modified content." That sounds perfect to me. Only it doesn't work."

Sorry again and thanks again. Any other ideas? Emily? Anyone?

Hi,

The alter setting you changed in preference menu is a global setting for all
workspace. However, the changing only applied to all new worksapce and will
not change the old exists workspaces setting. You can see the description at
the top of alters tab.

To change an alter setting of an exist file tool. Please, open that file
tool, chose options -> set alters -> tool. This alter setting will override
the workspace alter setting on this tool.

Hope it will help you.
