    Note that the "editorEmail" will return an empty string unless the "User Email" toggle in the "Include User Information" field is enabled (it defaults to off). The "editorEmail" string will also always be empty for certain event types that aren't initiated by a user (e.g. monthly reports). See the Editing a Notification Rule chapter for more information.

  5. If you have selected an email notification, you can choose the language for this notification in the drop-down menu.



  6. Click the [Create] button. This creates the notification rule and displays it in the list.

    To enable the notification rule, you must configure the options in the notification edit pane (see "Editing a Notification Rule").
