Automatic notifications, known as notification subscriptions, can be configured in this window. The options in the window differ slightly depending on the way you open the window, and the list on the left only shows the notification subscriptions that you have configured after opening the window in the same way.

For instructions on how to set up automatic notifications, see Sending notifications automatically.
