Notification Schemes define notification types and gather different sets of messages.  When you create a Notification Scheme, you can assign it to one or more SLA Agreements

The process of creating a notification scheme is quick and simple, and gives you the possibility to create and send your own notification wherever and whenever you want.

Creating a Notification Scheme:

1. Log in as a user with the Jira Administrators global permission.

2. Choose the cog icon> Add-ons. Select SLA PowerBox > Notification Schemes to open the SLA Notification Schemes page.

    Tip: Keyboard shortcut: g + g + start typing notification schemes...
3. Click the Add Notification Scheme button.
   
   
   
   
4. Enter a Name for the notification scheme and a short Description of the scheme.
5. Click the Create button to create the notification scheme.
   
   

Deleting a Notification Scheme:

1. Log in as a user with the Jira Administrators global permission.
2. Choose the cog icon> Add-ons. Select SLA PowerBox > Notification Schemes to open the SLA Notification Schemes page.
   Tip: Keyboard shortcut: g + g + start typing notification schemes...
3. Select Delete in the Operations section.
   
   
   
   
4. Confirm with the Delete button. 

Editing a Notification Scheme:

1. Log in as a user with the Jira Administrators global permission.
2. Choose the cog icon> Add-ons. Select SLA PowerBox > Notification Schemes to open the SLA Notification Schemes page.
   Tip: Keyboard shortcut: g + g + start typing notification schemes...
3. Select Edit in the Operations section. 
4. Edit the Name for the notification and/or the Description.
5. Confirm with the Save button. 

By selecting Notifications on the right-hand side, you add a notification to a scheme. They are linked, just as a scheme is tied with an SLA agreement.
Once you have created a scheme, you have it ready to use with a chosen Notification Template.

Adding a Notification to a Scheme:

5. Select an SLA status type from the list. The available types are listed and described in the SLA Status Types section on this page.
6. Click the Add button to create the notification and add it to the scheme.
   
   

At some point you will have to add the recipient of your message. You can add not only yourself or the project roles as recipients, but also groups of users. It is convenient and effective as everyone involved will receive the message.

SLA Status Types

When you create a new Notification Scheme, that scheme is created with one of its own SLA types.

Standard types connected with the SLA status: 

• SLA started,
• SLA restarted,
• SLA resumed,
• SLA paused,
• SLA cancelled,
• SLA finished,

and:

• SLA breached,
• SLA remaining time,
• SLA remaining time in percent.

SLA Breached means exceeding the time defined in SLA Goals. When the SLA is breached the SLA field turns red. SLA remaining time and SLA remaining time in percent refer to the remaining time in a specific issue. When the time or any settings change the notification is sent.
