Fishbowl Solutions’ Subscription Notifier has been used by many of our customers for years to manage business content stored in Oracle WebCenter Content. Subscription Notifier automatically sends email notifications based on scheduled queries. Fishbowl released version 4.0 of the product last week, and it includes several significant updates.
Now, users of Subscription Notifier can:
- Attach native or web-viewable files to notification emails
- Send individual notification emails for each content item
- Configure hourly notification schedules
- Run subscription side effects without sending emails
In addition to the latest updates, the product also offers a host of other features that enable WebCenter users to keep track of their high-value content.
You begin by naming the subscription and specifying whether emails should be sent for items matching the query. The scheduler lets you specify exactly when you want email notifications to go out (note the hourly option, new with version 4.0).
The email settings specify who you want to send emails to and how they should appear to recipients. The new “Attach Content” feature gives you the option of sending web-viewable or native files, which provides a way for recipients who don’t use Oracle WebCenter to still see important files. Using the query builder is very simple and determines what content items are included in the subscription. Advanced users also have the option to write more complex queries using SQL.
The Current Subscription Notifications page gives a summary of all subscriptions. In Version 4.0, simple changes such as enabling, disabling, or deleting subscriptions can be done here.
Subscription Notifier is a very useful tool for any organization that needs to keep tabs on a large amount of business content. It is part of Fishbowl’s Administration Suite, which also includes Advanced User Security Mapping, Workflow Solution Set, and Enterprise BatchLoader. This set of products works together to simplify the most common administrative tasks in Oracle WebCenter Content.
