Released Document Notification

I'm looking for a way to notify my organization (or certain people in it) when a part is released. Is the best place to do that in the Promotion workflow after the "Set State: Released" action, or would I do this in the Notification Rules Manager?

Thanks.

One way is to send an email within a Promotion Request (or change notice) workflow to a Group. Without changing the workflow, you can then manage membership in the group over time.

Another similar approach is to subscribe to all objects in a Folder but make the subscription to a group rather than a person. out changing the subscription, you can then manage membership in the group over time.

Thanks Mike! Is there a way to edit the workflow in a safe (test) environment in case something doesn't work right? Although it's a relatively simple change, I'd like to confirm that it works before implementing if at all possible.

You of course have multiple non-production Windchill test systems and source control of your workflow templates, correct?

In addition, Ben, you can find links to Windchill and EDC documentation for installing, configuring, and rehosting Windchill on the Windchill Installation and Configuration Resource Page on ptc.com.
