Both Approved External Users and EGLE staff can update the way they would like to receive notifications based on their user profile preferences.

Notifications have existed since the initial MiEHDWIS release; however, now users are able to update the way they would like to receive notifications.

How do I get there?

To change your user profile preferences, you will need to navigate to the upper right-hand corner and select the profile icon. Click into the Profile and navigate to Preferences and click on the Edit button.

To change your notification preferences, navigate to the User Menu > Profile > Preferences > Edit.

1. Navigate to your user profile.

2. Click Preferences.

3. Click Edit.

4. Select the notification Alert Method.

5. If Text Message is selected, select the Phone Carrier.

What are the notification alert methods?

The Notification Alert Method will allow the user to designate how they would like to receive notifications. Four notification alert method options are available: MiEHDWIS Only, MiEHDWIS and Email, MiEHDWIS and Test Text Message, and MiEHDWIS, Text Message, and Email.

MiEHDWIS Only

If you set your preferences set to only receive notifications within MiEHDWIS, then the notification is only available within the notification bell of the application.

MiEHDWIS and Email

If you set your preferences to MiEHDWIS and Email, then you will receive a notification within MiEHDWIS (bell) and an email notification. If you do not have an email address associated with your profile, you may not receive an email notification.

MiEHDWIS and Text Message

If you select to receive text messages as a notification preference, you will be required to add the cell phone carrier service. If you do not see your phone carrier listed, please contact the help desk for further assistance.
If you set your preferences set to MiEHDWIS and text message, and your phone carrier is configured as an expected phone carrier, then the user will receive a notification within MiEHDWIS and a text message.

If the MiLogin Cell Phone is not successfully on record through MiLogin or the cell phone’s carrier is not yet configured in the EGLE system, you may experience defective behavior. Major phone carriers are configured for EGLE use; however, if you have an off-brand phone carrier please contact the help desk for further assistance. It may be as simple as requesting an EGLE system administrator to add your phone carrier to the system for approved use. You can expect to receive a text message from Notification-MiEHDWIS-NoReply@michigan.gov with an associated message of Notification: with the additional text message content. Again, as with email, if you do not have a cell phone number associated with your profile your notification may not arrive via text message.

MiEHDWIS, Email and Text Message

If you set your preferences to MiEHDWIS, Email, and Text Message, then the user will receive a notification within MiEHDWIS, an email notification, and a text message. As documented above, if you do not have an email address associated with your profile, you may not receive an email notification. If you do not have a MiLogin Cell Phone associated with your profile, you will not receive a text message.
