[Wactclc-alma] Opt-in or Opt-out Alma Emails

[Guidry, Wade]

Traci,

There really isn't. If a user has a preferred email address configured (as all employees and students loaded from PPMS / SMS should have), and notices are configured to be delivered via email, then the user will receive notices.

But I don't really see any particular reason you would want to allow regular student and employee users to opt out of notices.

One place where you may *not* want to send notices out is to ILL institutional partners. If that's the kind of thing you're thinking of, that objective can be achieved in the overdue and lost loan profile configuration, by deselecting that user group in a particular notice profile (ie, only having the notice go to specific user groups). Same would go for any other "special" kinds of patrons, to whom you don't want to send notices.

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is an opt-in or opt-out feature for users in Alma for receiving email?

Thanks,
Traci
