    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    The privacy consent notification is sent to a user only once even if the user is in the target audience of multiple privacy consent notifications.

    Prozedur

    1. Navigate to All > Emergency Outreach > View Outreaches.
    2. Open the User Privacy Consent outreach record.
    3. On the Select targeted audience tab, select the target audience for the notification, and click Save.
      You can choose from user lists, groups, departments, locations, or other search filters such as building, cost center, or country code.
    4. On the Safe Workplace Audience tab, select the audience from the list, and click Save.
      If you don't have an audience defined, click New and define an audience from user lists, groups, departments, locations, and so on. After you save the Safe Workplace audience, you can use it to send any outreach message. For more information, see Add a Safe Workplace Audience.
    5. On the Content configuration tab, select Privacy Consent in the Response mode field.
    6. Wahlweise: Enable the outreach to provide location-specific privacy consents by selecting the Use Country option on the Content configuration tab.

      When enabled, the privacy statement text in Location Privacy Configuration takes precedence over text in the privacy consent templates. This text is used for the outreach, system notification email, and push notification. If you need to update the text that users receive, you must change the location's privacy statement.

        Push notifications use the ServiceNow Request Application notification device. When a user registers their mobile application to an instance, this notification device is automatically created in their notification preferences. Ensure that this device is active for the users that you want to receive the push notification.
