Improved Notifications Management

In our latest feature release we have improved your in-app notifications so they are easier to review and manage. This includes:

  • Categorising your notifications by type i.e. comments, @mentions, access, assignments and schedule
  • Making it easier to mark your notifications as read individually, by category or all at once
  • Introducing general comment notifications and comment mention notifications
  • Keeping an archive of your read notifications

The video below provides a quick overview:

 

Notification categories

Your notifications are now split into categories to help you manage and prioritise:

  • Everything – includes all notifications from all categories
  • Comments – includes any comment from any grid, element or task to which you have access
  • @mentions – includes any comment you are mentioned in
  • Access – includes notifications relating to groups you are added to and access your are given on folders and grids
  • Assigned – includes notifications relating to you being assigned to grids, stages, themes, elements or tasks
  • Scheduled – includes notifications relating to due dates set on grids, stages, elements or tasks that are assigned to you

Notification categories

Read and unread notifications

Notifications are now split between those you have read and those that are new/unread. You can mark notifications as read by:

  1. Clicking on the notification and opening the area it relates to e.g. clicking a comment notification would open the grid/element/task to view and reply to that comment
  2. Clicking the X to dismiss the notification and mark it as read
  3. Clicking mark all as read – this can be done on everything or by category

Notifications read and unread

Comment notifications

All your comments are now easily managed within your notifications area. Note that comments can now be managed throughout the app in your notifications area and we have removed them from your ProdHub. There are two types of comment notification:

  1. Comments – includes all comments on all grids, elements or tasks to which you have access – never miss a comment again!
  2. @Mentions – includes all comments on anything anywhere in which you have been @mentioned

Notification comments

Notifications archive

All your read notifications are now easily available in the read section of your notifications area.

Notifications read and unread
