## Notification management

### Pre-requisites

The metadata field used for the notification (e.g. "licence expiry") needs to be configured (mapped) first.

{% hint style="info" %}
It can be done in Settings > Library > Metadata > (tab) Configuration > (section) Field mappings
{% endhint %}

You can read more about them in [Field mappings](/digital-asset-management-dam/settings/metadata/metadata-configuration.md#field-mappings).

{% hint style="info" %}
*If no metadata field is mapped, no notification will be triggered, regardless of the configuration setup.*
{% endhint %}

### **Enable notifications**

When the option is enabled, the user can set a notification on asset expiry by completing the following information:

<table><thead><tr><th width="304">Parameter</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>Notification name</code></td><td>Free text</td></tr><tr><td><code>Notification type</code></td><td>Drop down to select the type of notification: <em>Asset expiry ...</em></td></tr><tr><td><code>Notification channel</code></td><td>Choose the channel where to receive the notification.</td></tr><tr><td><code>Recipients</code></td><td>Specify who will receive the notifications</td></tr><tr><td><code>Notifications schedule</code></td><td>Specify when the notifications should be sent: <br>• On the day of expiration <br>• Before expiry (specify the number of days). Any assets expiring in fewer days than the specified are ignored.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
Notifications are always sent at 6:00AM UTC
{% endhint %}
