Email Notifications I
Help: Email Notifications

These notification settings are used to determine who receives email notifications for various actions taken in the system.

For each "action" (i.e. Add Project, Edit User, etc.) four groups of people can be notified, including Owners, Project Members, those Affected by the action and Other Users. Owners, Project Members and Affected are pre-defined in the system and explained below. Other Users, makes it possible to select other specific users in the system that should be notified of certain actions.

To select which users will receive notification for each action check the boxes next to each action under the columns Owners, Project Members and Affected. To select Other Users to receive email notifications click the Edit button. If there are other users receiving notifications, a number (of users) will appear next to the Edit button. Clicking the number will launch a popup window with a list of these users.

When finished, click the Update button to save changes.

Below, a list of all available notifications and the logic of Owners, Project Members and Affected is defined.
