Description of problem: As a user of Red Hat subscriptions with Satellite 6, I would like the ability to be prominently notified when (large groups of) subscriptions expire. As I may want to export the current state of my systems & associated subscriptions (such as via hammer csv), knowing that I have subscriptions expiring is key. This RFE requests: - some form of UI notification (above and beyond the widget on the dash board) - a new email report (such as the ones for errata) that the user can opt-in to receiving.

I spoke with Rich to agree on more concrete specification. Here are the stories: As a user, I want to be able to opt-in for email notification about subscriptions expiring $soon. Each user can only get information about subscriptions they have permission to view As a user, I want to chose how often the notification should be sent, daily/weekly/mothly (consistent with other notifications) As a user, I want to chose what $soon means, typically a week, 30 days, 90 days The notification should contain the list of subscriptions, not the systems that are affected by it (attached to them). The notification should contain the link to render a report with more details, specifically about what systems (hosts) will be affected by that expiration As a user, I want to be able to generate Entitlements report (introduced in 6.7) and filter on subscriptions and subscription expiration date The notification is not sent if no expiring subscription is found The email notification will contain following information about expiring subscriptions: subscription name, satellite organization, type, quantity, SKU, contract, account, start, end (expiry)
Added release note text.
This fix caused the following change: In the "Subscription - Entitlement Report" report, the "Name" column has been changed to "Host Name" column. This should be mentioned in the Doc Text.
Hi Lukáš, Thank you for this notice. So this "Subscription - Entitlement Report" report has been added in a past release. I am removing info that it is added in 6.8 from the Doc Text. I am adding the info about Name > Host Name renaming to the Doc text. Please let me know if the Doc Text is correct now. Thank you
The report has been renamed from "Entitlements" since the previous release. But I think it's clear enough as it is now.
Thanks for this notice, Lukáš. For extra clarity, I have noted that the report has been renamed in the Doc Text.
