Notifications and email preferences

Choose which kinds of work notify you in the app and by email, and see how your organization can make some emails required.

Notifications tell you when work is assigned to you, when someone mentions you, and when something you follow changes.

Reading notifications

Open your avatar menu and choose "Notifications". A badge shows how many are unread. Each notification links to the record it is about. Mark them read one at a time or all together, or clear the list.

Choosing what you receive

Open "My profile" and find "Notification Preferences". It lists each kind of work, such as experiments, plans, SOP and policy work, training, quality events, proficiency testing, calibration verification, maintenance, general tasks and mentions. Each has one switch for in-app notifications and one for email. In-app notifications are on to begin with, and email is off until you turn it on. You can also choose whether to be emailed when you assign work to yourself.

Emails your organization requires

The Primary Site Administrator can make some emails required, so nobody misses them. SOP work, policy work and training assignments are required to begin with. You cannot switch off required emails in your preferences.
