|
Languages
|
If you use multiple languages, use this column to select the language for this alert. Only
employees with the selected language receive the alert. However, if you leave this column blank, all
employees receive this alert regardless of their designated language.
For example, if you create an email alert for English US and English UK, then only the users that have English US or English UK in the
Language field in the
Employees hub receive that message. The system administrator must set up a separate alert rule for Spanish
employees to receive a message in Spanish. The
Language field displays
<languages selected> if any languages are selected.
