Hi,
If I'm not mistaken then records in this table is created the first time a user receives a notification. Otherwise this table would be filled with records matching the number of notifications you have times the number of users.

Niklas

In the KB it states: "Subscriptions are stored in Notification Messages [cmn_notif_message] table. If you want to subscribe to your users to certain notifications by default, you can write a business rule that will create the necessary entries in the Notification Messages table when a User record is inserted."

I see where you are talking about: "Besides, when a user receives a certain notification for the first time, it appears in their subscriptions and can then be changed from there." But that reads to me like "A notification will be put in the user's subscriptions". I am not sure if that is the same thing. That is kind of blurry.
