Editing Content on the Notification Tab
To edit a notification, double click the notification name to open a multi-tabbed editor.
On the Notification tab, you can edit the Subject line (if it is an email template) and the notification text. Formatting can be performed using the tool bar.
Variables are inserted by enclosing a variable name in double-hash tags (##VariableName##). On some notifications, information about the inserted variables is listed above the Subject line.

Setting Recipient Options on the Recipients Tab
For most email notifications, you can add additional email addresses on the Recipients tab. Enter the email addresses one per line in the CC Addresses and BCC Addresses lists.

Specifying Conditions on the Conditions Tab
For most email notifications, you can filter the recipient against membership rules to determine whether the recipient should receive the notification. You add these conditions on the Conditions tab.
If a match is found against one of the conditions, then the notification is not sent to the recipient. Recipients include both the requester and target user of the request.
Notification Condition
In the above example, if the target user or the requester is in the Admin User New Security Group, the notification will not be sent.
Previewing an Email Notification on the Preview Tab
You can view a preview of how an email notification for a specific request will look when viewed by the user by opening the Preview tab of the editor dialog box, and entering the numeric ID of a request in the Enter a request ID to preview data box.
