Email notifications

Notification settings are controlled by the individual user, but can be adjusted by the system Administrator.

Administrator access rights may be required to perform some of the following steps related to notifications.

Notifications are a way of alerting individual users about activities, cases, accounts, dates, deadlines and other relevant notices to ensure they aren’t forgotten, overlooked or otherwise missed.

Currently, there are four notification types sent to the user’s email address, including: New activity, Activity confirmed, Today’s agenda and Weekly summary.

New activity and Activity confirmed are designed to inform the user of work related activities. New activity notices are sent to a user’s email address when someone else creates an activity for that user. Activity confirmed notices are sent to the activity owner’s email address when other users confirm their participation in an activity.

The content of Today’s agenda and Weekly summary notices varies greatly according to available data and user access rights. The quantity and quality of data in a company’s system determines what information is available to populate the notices. For example, a new company may not yet have enough data to create meaningful notifications, and then they won’t be sent. Notification information is also delimited based on user access rights to ensure users only see relevant data that they have permission to access.

Notifications are automatically activated when a new user is created. To turn notifications on or off, or send yourself a test email, click on Tools - Personal details. On the Personal details page, click the arrow to the right of the Settings title bar to open the section. Click the Edit button located on the Settings title bar to make changes.

To receive an email every time another user creates an activity for you, or includes you in a group activity, click to open Tools - Personal details. On the Personal details page, click the arrow to the right of the Settings title bar to open the section. Click the Edit button located on the Settings title bar to make changes.

Under Email notifications, after New activity click to select Yes from the drop-down menu if you wish to receive New activity notices. Or, select No if you wish to discontinue receiving New activity notices.

To receive an email every time a user confirms participation in an activity of which you are the owner, click to open Tools - Personal details. On the Personal details page, click the arrow to the right of the Settings title bar to open the section. Click the Edit button located on the Settings title bar to make changes.

Under Email notifications, after Activity confirmed click to select Yes from the drop-down menu if you wish to receive Activity confirmed notices. Or, select No if you wish to discontinue receiving Activity confirmed notices.
