If your page contains a Subscribe link and you subscribe to the page, you are notified whenever that page is updated, new items are added to the page, and existing items are updated. Similarly, if Subscribe icons are displayed next to items on a page, you can be notified whenever the items are updated. To subscribe to pages or items you must be logged in to Oracle Portal. To view information about subscribed pages or items you must have access to a page containing the My Notifications portlet. This section provides the following information: ■ Section 2.4.1, Subscribing to a Page ■ Section 2.4.2, Subscribing to an Item ■ Section 2.4.3, Setting Up the My Notifications Portlet to Show Your Subscriptions For more information on approvals and notifications, see Section 20.1, Setting Up an Approval Process for a Page.

If you have the appropriate privileges, you can personalize the My Notifications portlet to display information about items and pages to which you subscribe.
