Storyboard Notifications

Storyboard Notifications is a new feature that helps you stay up-to-date with the latest insights and data trends, without needing to log in and check for updates manually.  You can now schedule your Storyboards to be delivered directly to your email on a regular basis - daily, weekly, or monthly.

Whether you’re tracking HR metrics, operational KPIs, or other key business trends, this is a great way to stay informed and make decisions faster.

Permissions

To create Storyboard Notifications, the user must have the application access permission:
CanConfigureDataStoriesNotifications.

Once this permission is granted, the user can set up notifications for themselves or proxy in as another user to schedule notifications on their behalf.

How to Set Up a Storyboard Notification

1. Go to the Account Menu (top right corner)
   
   
2. Click Preferences

3. Scroll to the Notifications section
   
   
4. Select the Storyboard Notifications tab
   
   

If you haven’t set any up yet, you’ll see this message:
“You don't have any configured data notifications.”

Add a Notification

1. Click Add Notification
   
   
2. A Storyboard Notification Settings popover window will appear.

Step by Step Configuration

Storyboard

Select the Storyboard you want to schedule from the dropdown. 

You will only see Storyboards that you have permission to view or edit.

Time Schedule

Choose how often you want the storyboard sent:

• Repeat Every:
  
  
  • Day
    
    
    • Select the Time (hour and minute) using the click up/down selectors
      
      
  • Week
    
    
    • Choose the Day of the Week (Sunday–Saturday)
      
      
    • Select the Time
      
      
  • Month
    
    
    • Select the Date:
      
      
      • First Day, Last Day, or 2nd to 29th
        
        
    • Select the Time
      
      

The system will display a plain text summary, e.g.:

"Every Month on Last Day of Month at Time 09:00 by Email."

Note on Time Schedule (UTC) - All time-based schedules for storyboard notifications are set in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).  This ensures consistency across different time zones and systems. When setting up a scheduled notification (e.g. to run daily at 9:00 AM), please be aware that the time is interpreted in UTC, not your local time.  Make sure to adjust your scheduled time accordingly based on your location and whether daylight saving time applies.

Notification Email Subject

Type the subject line that will appear in your email inbox.

Notification Email Content

Enter the body content of the email message.

Click Add to save, or Cancel to exit without saving.

Managing your Notifications

Once added, your notification will appear as a row in the Storyboard Notifications table.

Columns include:

• Storyboard Name
  
  
• Condition Overview (your schedule and delivery method)
  
  
• On/Off (On by Default)
  • Toggle Off to pause a notification without deleting it.
    
    
• Actions (Edit  / Delete)
  • Click Edit (pencil icon) to update the Time Schedule, Subject, or Content.
  • Click Delete (bin icon) to remove the notification.
    
    

If you try to exit without saving, you’ll see a popup: “Discard Unsaved Changes? You have unsaved notification changes. Click Continue to discard and navigate away or Cancel to continue editing.”

Note on Email Delivery - Each storyboard notification configured will send a separate email when triggered.  For example, if you have three storyboard notifications scheduled for Monday at 9:00 a.m., you will receive three individual emails, one for each notification.  The system does not currently support batching of multiple notifications into a single email.

Notifications from the Storyboard Library

When a storyboard has notifications enabled:

• A bell icon will appear next to the Storyboard name

• From the Action Dots (⋯):
  
  
  • A Notifications tab will be visible
    
    
  • It shows the Condition Overview
    
    
  • Includes a link to manage notifications (navigates to Preferences page)

The same applies when accessing from:

• The storyboard’s Settings panel via the action dots

What the Notifications Email Looks Like

• Subject: [Your custom email subject]
  
  
• Header:
