Unlike other schemes such as the workflow scheme, where Jira will create one whenever a new project is created, all new projects will be set to use the Default Notification Scheme. So, if you want to create notifications that are specific to your project, you will have to create a new notification scheme. Perform the following steps to create a new notification scheme:

1. Browse to the Notification Schemes page
2. Click on the Add Notification Scheme button at the bottom
3. Enter a name and description for the new notification scheme
4. Click on the Add button to create the notification scheme

When you create a new notification scheme, you create a blank scheme that can be configured later so that you can add your own notification rules to it. It is important that you configure its notification rules before applying the scheme to projects after you create a new notification scheme; otherwise, no notifications will be sent out. We will look at how to configure notification rules later in this chapter.
