How do I create a notification list?

Notification lists are created in Maptician so that in the event of a seat or room reservation, list members are notified of the reservation and its service requirements and have the option to add the event to their own calendar.

How to create a notification list:

From the Maptician home screen, select the Facility Mgmt tab.
At the top of the page, select the Notification Lists tab.
Select the '+' icon to add a new notification list.
Add the list name and description, if needed.
Select Create.
Now, select the desired Notification List, (it will highlight in blue) and select the pencil icon to edit settings, users, and locations.
List Information tab:
1. Enable the notification list for the resource types. By default, it is enabled for both seat and room reservations. Make any needed changes and select save changes.
2. Enable list defaults as needed. This enables the notification list for the selected resources but allows users to turn the notification off if not needed. Select save changes if any changes are made.
3. Enable automatic notifications as needed. This requires the notification list for the selected resource reservations (users do not have the option to turn it off). Select save changes if any changes are made.
Fields tab:

1. Select Add to set up the desired fields. These fields are customizable so you can add any options to a drop down list, check box, etc. Once a field is created, you can edit or remove it after clicking the field so it turns blue.

9. Users tab:

1. Search or scroll to find individuals that need to be notified and select the blue '+' icon to add users to this notification list.

10. Email Addresses tab:

1. If you'd rather add a distribution list to receive this notification than individuals, add a Name and email for each listserv.

11. Locations tab:

1. Add the location(s) for this notification list by clicking the '+' icon. This notification list will only appear as an option for the locations selected.

12. Select OK to finalize the set up.
