Chapter 12 Configuring Message Notification
Cascading Message Notification
When a notification is cascaded to a target, the user listening to the cascaded notification is given the
option to disable the cascading from that mailbox, or the option to disable the notification feature in its
own profile. If in the above example, User B chooses to disable cascading from User-A’s mailbox, all
messages are left in User-A’s mailbox for which cascading to User-B has been disabled remotely.
If User-B chooses to disable notification to User-B’s own device, User-B’s notification profile is changed
and notification to that particular device is disabled. A message is left in User-B's mailbox that
notification to the device was disabled remotely.
Configurable Options
System Configuration
You can enable or disable this feature at the system level only. By default, this feature is disabled. To
enable it, you must enable the message notification feature at the system level. When you enable after it
was been disabled, cascading is automatically enabled for all users who have their individual cascade
settings configured. Disabling the cascade feature does not remove the rules defined by the subscriber
for cascading.
User Configuration
Subscribers can setup the cascading rules regardless of whether the cascade feature enabled or disabled.
To setup cascading, subscribers must configure a rule with the following items:
• Target Subscriber (UserId or gdmId) — This is a user ID or a GDM ID that is used for cascading
notification.
• Time (in minutes) — The time after which the user or GDM is notified if the message is still not
heard. This time is calculated from the time that the original message was received. The minimum
time allowed is 5 minutes and the maximum time allowed is 10080 minutes (168 hours).
A subscriber can setup a maximum of two such rules. If a subscriber setups more than one rule, the target
ID and the time for the two rules must be unique.

The limitations and conditions of this feature include:
• Notification cascading stops when either:
– The message is saved or deleted.

not removed when this feature is disabled at the system level.
