Event Subscriptions
The Event Subscriptions screen is used to set the severity level of messages displayed to employees via Employee Information Station (EIS) devices when they are clocking into the system. The level of severity indicates the action the employee is able to take. For example, messages that are Informational or Warning indicate that an employee needs to read a message, but the employee can continue clocking. A Critical message may mean that an employee is not able to clock into the system. For example, employees may be given an Informational message that a required license will be expiring in 90 days, then a Warning message that their license is going to expire in one day, and finally a Critical message that their license has expired.
