Configuring a shared subscription

You can create a shared subscription to topics that other editors can use. This is a useful feature when a subscription has complex filtering criteria. For example, a group of editors are responsible for monitoring publications of articles and images tagged Astronomy to the site Inspire Confidence. One editor can make a subscription for those messages, and all the other editors subscribe to it.

To create a shared subscription:

1. In the header, click your username > Profile.

2. Under Main, expand Notifications.

3. Under Subscriptions, Click .

4. From the Topic list, select Shared.

5. In the Subscription field, click .

6. Under Create, select the topic for the subscription, and then click New.

   

7. In the Name field, type a name for the subscription. As a best practice, use a name that provides a cue about the subscription’s content filters.

8. Using the following resources, complete the subscription for the selected topic:

   • Subscribing to the Assignment Desk topic
   • Subscribing to the conversation topic
   • Subscribing to the publication topic
   • Subscribing to the translation topic
   • Subscribing to the workflow topic

9. Click Save. Creation of a shared subscription is complete, and other editors can now add it to their notifications. For details on how to add a subscription, see Adding a subscription.
