Notification center

How to ease the load on your email inbox?

No one wants to be flooded with emails. Every application sends email notifications, which then mix with the other emails. So why not have everything related to projects and tasks in one place inside the application?

Many of you inspired us to build the notification center. Thanks to you we managed to refine it, and we will further develop and improve it based on feedback about the Projektově 2 application.

In Projektově 2 you can tag anyone with a mention and send them a notification through the application.

Tagging a colleague in a task

From several project dimensions 🪐, all in one place.

A red dot signalling a notification

Notification center

As soon as someone tags you in a task, a mention pops up in the notification center. In the morning when you arrive at work, just open the app and you see everything related to projects and tasks in one place.

Mentions

When you use @ in text in a task or in a comment, the application automatically offers a drop-down of colleagues you can tag. You can only tag colleagues you have added to the project. By using an @ mention in the task detail, the colleague will also be automatically added to watching the task.

Using the notification center

At the bottom left in the so-called "user corner" we added the notification center. The notification center serves to alert you about a new task someone has assigned to you, or about an @ mention in a comment and in the task description. Anywhere in the task description you tag @ colleague Frantisek and a red dot blinks in his notification center about the new alert.

It works the other way around too – when Frantisek mentions @ you, an alert appears in your notification center. By clicking on the chosen alert you switch to the task card. If you want to resolve the task later, you just open the notification center, the alert disappears and you can return to the task whenever you want.

Expanded menu with the latest notifications

Notification display 💫

The notification center shows you a new task or mention in perfect synchronization, discreetly but in a way you cannot miss, with a red dot in the notification center. You have a new mention or task – the notification center lights up red, you open the menu and the red dot hides.

The notification center works the same way as the email alert, where everyone in the watcher list is informed about changes in a task.

You do not have to worry about red-dot nightmares. Just open/click the notification center and the dot is gone.

As an application admin you have a button in your user management that lets you turn off all email notifications across the whole company and keep only notifications in the notification center.

The 'apply settings to everyone' button turns email notifications off for the whole company.

How mentions work in the notification center

There are several variants of use.

I'm assigning a new task:
  • I choose Frantisek as the assignee and an alert arrives in his notification center
  • Frantisek has turned off notification emails in his settings, so he is automatically alerted only by a notification inside the application
Commenting on a task:
  • Frantisek and Gizela are watching the task; I write a comment "What do you think? Any news?" – an alert appears in both of their notification centers
  • if they have not turned off email alerts, they also receive an email alert
  • if both Frantisek and Gizela have email notifications turned off, they receive only the notification – a red dot in the notification center
From the task assignee's point of view:
  • manager Elvis has assigned me a new task – an alert arrives in my notification center (I have email notifications turned off)
  • I open the task and if I have a question, I comment on it
Completed task:
  • Frantisek ticked off the task as completed, an alert arrives for manager Elvis
  • the manager is alerted automatically and sees all notifications about changes and completion of tasks he has assigned in one place in the notification center
