Notification Definitions
The Notification Definitions frame appears on the right side of the Notification Manager view in Enterprise Manager. When you select a trigger in the Notification Triggers panel, the frame displays the General tab for that trigger's notification action, along with any notification-type tabs that have been enabled.
ENS allows the insertion of any OpCon property in all notification fields. Use the Global Property Selector (Ctrl+T) to find and insert tokens for Global Properties, or type a token manually in the format [[PropertyName]]. For more information, refer to Tokens.
