   • Edit Notification Settings
     1. Select/Deselect the appropriate radio button in the Restrictions area to specify whether or not the selected employee is allowed to opt not to receive notifications in Attachments and the Distribution Manager:
          
        • Allow selecting "No Notification"
        • Disable "No notification" option
     2. Optionally select the Restrict changing of default selection when applicable checkbox.
     3. In the Distribution Manager frame under Notification Defaults, specify the default setting for Distribution Manager notifications for this employee:
          
        • Notify if unsuccessful only
        • Notify if successful or unsuccessful
        • No notification
     4. Specify the default setting for attachment notifications for this employee:
          
        • Notify if unsuccessful only
        • Notify if successful or unsuccessful
        • No notification

     Note: At 4:00 a.m. each day, the system purges jobs that are no longer active and are more than seven days old. Client notifications that expired more than 24 hours before that are cleared at same time.

     5. If you access Applied Epic from a web browser, select or deselect the Send ready-to-print documents to Print Center checkbox to specify whether ready-to-print documents are sent to Print Center or display in Access > Notifications.
        
        Selecting the checkbox moves all available print jobs from Access  > Notifications to the Print Center window the next time the selected employee logs in to Epic. Deselecting the checkbox stops future print jobs from processing through Print Center, but the employee must process any existing print jobs from Print Center; they do not move back to Access  > Notifications.

     6. Click Finish to save your changes.
        
        Click Cancel to exit the screen without saving any of the changes you have made to the selected employee's notification settings.
