My notifications

My notifications is a notification center where you can view and manage events related to your work in the system. Notifications are displayed directly in the application and function as a complement to email. When you receive a new notification, a red indicator is shown on the toolbar icon.

Notifications are updated automatically at regular intervals (approximately every two minutes), which means new notifications may not appear immediately and can be slightly delayed. The notification center only displays notifications for the current user. Notifications are stored for a limited time and are then automatically removed. If you perform an action yourself, you will normally not receive a notification for it.

 

Types of notifications

Notifications are created when important events occur in the system. Additional types of notifications may be added in future versions. The notifications currently supported in the system are described below.

 

General

When a changeset is sent to you.

 

Organizer

A new task is created and you are the task manager.

An activity where you are the owner is started.

You are assigned as the new owner of an already started activity.

Notifications are only sent when the action is performed by another user. This means you will not receive a notification if you create a task where you are the task manager or assign yourself as the owner of an activity.
