# Notifications

Truedat includes a notification engine that lets users watch events and receive notifications.

Users can subscribe to events in two ways:

* Self-subscription to documents with this feature enabled
* Bulk subscriptions enabled by an administrator for a given role

Notifications appear in the top menu bar.

{% hint style="info" %}
Email notifications are sent to users. To enable them, Truedat must integrate with your SMTP server.
{% endhint %}

## Self subscription

### Business Concepts

You can subscribe to any business concept you can access. This generates notifications for any changes to a concept, including status changes.

### Quality Rules & Implementations

You can subscribe to a quality rule or implementation. You receive notifications when a quality result is generated. In the notification settings, select the notification frequency: immediately, hourly, or daily. Select the result types: goal reached, over the threshold but below the goal, below threshold, empty dataset, or failed execution.
