Overview of notification subscriptions
The administrator must set up an e-mail server in Configuration Manager to send notification e-mails to users.
If the notification system is set up, the repository administrator can see all the notifications set up in the repository.
The repository administrator can click on the "Tree" icon or the "ChangeNotificationType" button.
After clicking on the "ChangeNotificationType" button, the repository administrator is redirected to the "Setting the notification interval for diagram subscribers" page where he can check the Name, Type, Login and Email to which the notification is sent.
There are three notification services that notify users of changes to the diagram.
By hovering the cursor over the icons, the user can read what type of notification it is.
You can easily change the notification type either on this page, where you just click the blue icon, or go to the diagram on the repository.
The green colour of the icon informs which notification type is on.
If the user wants to cancel the notification, just click the red icon.
When the user clicks on the "Tree" 
icon, he is redirected to the repository of the diagram.
Archive repository
Archive repository (without background jobs for regeneration and chache)
In the repository editor, it is possible to set the "Archive repository (without background jobs for regeneration and chache)" mark. The functionality will ensure that the system does not unnecessarily run background jobs and chache regeneration.
You can edit a repository > Portal Management > Repositories Management > Edit a specific repository.
Repository password encryption
EA Infoport now offers the ability to encrypt passwords in the repository.
Settings:
1) Configuration Manager >Encryption Key > generate Encryption Key > save setup > restart EA Infoport
Attention!!! Deleting the key will result in data loss.
2) Portal Management >Management Repositories > select edit a specific repository > check the checkbox > Encrypt EAP and Connection String credentials.
