Purpose: Within AccuCampus you can create notification topics, these topics will be used in the Notification rules. These are primarily used when creating rules for automatic notifications; however, they will also appear on the user profile, and users will be able to decide if they want notifications from that topic delivered via e-mail, push notification, or text, or if they want them delivered at all.
