Create a subscription (Summary)

Create a new event subscription to specify the subscription settings. The newly created subscription removes the default subscription, which includes all areas, priorities, and event sources.
Multiple subscriptions are combined together. The subscription criteria are combined using the logical AND operator. For example, selecting the
Priority: Urgent
 check box, then entering an area of
Packaging Line
, and then entering an event source of
[BoxStuffer]*
