How to do it…
JIRA uses notification schemes to control who should receive notifications for a given
event. JIRA comes with a
Default Notification Scheme
; you can choose to update this
scheme directly by clicking on the
Notifications
link. In this recipe, however, we will be
creating a new notification scheme and applying that to projects:
1. Proceed with the following steps to create a new notification scheme:
1. Navigate to
Administration
|
Issues
|
Notification Scheme
.
2. Click on the
Add Notification Scheme
button.
3. Enter a name for the new scheme and click on
Add
to create it.
After you have created a new notification scheme, you will be taken to the
Notific-
ations
settings page for the scheme. By default, there will be no notifications set
for any events, as shown in the following screenshot:
2. To add a notification recipient to an event, proceed with the following steps:
1. Click on the
Add
link for the event.
2. Select the notification recipient type and click on
Add
.
