Your notifications settings

You can choose to receive emails or in-app notifications when certain events happen.

There are system wide notification settings that are defined by your Projectworks administrator. They set up the rules for some of the notifications.

Each person can specify their preferences for receiving notifications (within the rules set by the administrator). You can choose which events you are notified about, and how you are notified. There are also some suggested settings for various roles within an organisation.

Setup your notification preferences

You can access your notifications setting by clicking the bell at the top right of the page.

The Edit Settings page includes the various activity groups that you can set your notifications for. It is up to you to determine what you would like to be notified of, and how you would like to be notified.

You may have different notification setting for different events. For example, you may want to get an email notification if your leave request has been approved or declined, an in-app notification if a new project has been created in your office, and no notifications for invoice payments.

Some of the options in the settings are dependent on how your Projectworks administrator has configured your system. For example, if your organisation has implemented timesheet approvals there is an option to be notified when your timesheet is approved.
