    About this task

    The Communities application separates the notion of subscriptions from notifications. It is possible to subscribe to an item and disable notifications. You can also turn off all notifications.

    Procedure

    1. Select Community > Notification Settings from the header.
    2. Click Notifications and Subscriptions.
    3. Choose your category, such as Forums, Topics, Blogs, or Videos, to manage your notifications in those areas.
    4. In the Email column, toggle any item that should or should not send updates.
    5. Optional: To turn all notifications on or off, toggle All Notifications.
      Note:

      Activity subscription modules will not be displayed in the Navigations and Subscriptions page, when you enable the disable_notifications flag.

      The isNotificationDisabled API checks the value of the disable_notifications flag. This API can also be used for blocking notification of other activity subscription modules.
