How to Set up Discussion Board Notifications

AEA has a new policy for how TIGs can communicate with TIG members. TIG members will receive messages posted to the TIG Discussion Board as an email.

1. Sign in to the TIG website. Note: This is separate from your AEA login on www.eval.org.

2. Click on your profile icon > then click on the [Profile] button.

3. Click on [My Account] > then Community Notifications.

4. Check the notification settings for each TIG. The options are [Real Time], [Daily Digest], [Plain Text], or [No Email].
