For each alert type, you can give users the ability to override the setting for whether or not they receive automated messages by e-mail. However, neither you nor users can override the settings for receiving Inbox messages.

For example, suppose you select Inbox Only as the delivery method for an alert type and you leave the Allow Override box checked. In this case, users can elect to receive e-mail messages for that alert type in their preferences. If you remove the check from the Allow Override box for this alert type, then users cannot override your setting and they will not be able to receive e-mail messages.

To allow users to override the settings for receiving e-mail messages:

1. From the Time & Attendance menu, select Setup.

   Note: If the Setup option is not visible, make sure that you have selected Practitioner in the Role Selector.

2. Under the General heading on the Setup page, click the Inbox and E-mail Notifications link. The Inbox and E-mail Notifications page opens. The current settings for allowing users to override the receipt of e-mail messages are displayed in the Allow Override column. By default, the boxes in this column are checked.

3. For each alert type for which you do not want to allow users to override your settings for receiving e-mail messages, remove the check mark from the Allow Override check box.

4. If you have previously removed the check mark for an alert type and you now want to give users the ability to override your e-mail settings, select the Allow Override check box.

   Note: You cannot allow users to override the settings for System Messages. Users must use the settings that you configure for these types of messages.

5. Click the Submit button.
