Managing Notification Priorities

Notification priorities can be changed by editing their scope on the Manage Priorities page. This document explains how notification prioritization works in Acunetix 360 and provides instructions for changing the priority of notifications.

Notification prioritization

Notifications are grouped by their Event type and then they are prioritized by Scope (what they relate to). Also, the most recently added notification gets the highest priority. The scope priority is as follows:

1. Single Target
2. Target Group
3. Any Target

This means that when a new scan is started, Acunetix 360 checks all the notifications for the New Scan event in the above-mentioned order. So if for example a target is listed in a New Scan single target scope and a New Scan target group scope notification, once the new scan starts, the single target scope notification is triggered first and the target group scope notification is ignored. Refer to the chart below for a graphical explanation of the scope’s priorities.

How to change the priority of a notification

1. Select Notifications > Manage Priorities from the left-side menu.

2. Use the Event dropdown to select the event for the notification you want to prioritize. You can also filter the results using the Target or Target Group field.

3. Once you can see all the notifications that you want to prioritize, click the three lines icon and drag and drop any of the notifications to change their priority order.

4. Click Save when you have finished ordering your notifications.
