Profile - User Notifications settings explained including BULK update

The following is the recorded version of the help article outlined below.

Depending on your role and permissions, you can adjust your own and in some cases, your team’s project notification settings. This allows you to control the volume and type of notifications received via:

• Rave Notifications (Alerts)
• External Email Notifications (sent to your email inbox)

Key Notes:

• All users can update their own notifications, based on the permissions they’ve been granted.
• Note: You (or your team member) must be on the People tab of a project to receive these notifications 
• If a user cannot see a specific notification switch, it means they do not have access to manage that particular setting.
  • In these cases, a Branch Owner or another internal team member with the appropriate permissions can make the necessary updates.
  • Those with permission to edit other users' notifications will see a user box to the top right of their screen where they can pick a user and then select which notifications they would like to alter. 
  • If a category only displays one option, it’s because that specific notification does not offer both email and internal (in-app) notification types.
  • Notifications marked with a House icon can be configured on a project-by-project basis. This allows you to override the default notification settings and choose exactly which projects a user will receive notifications for, rather than sending notifications for every project they have access to.   To view the Project Level settings help article, please click here.

You can customise these preferences at any time.

To update your notification settings:

1. Click your profile icon (top right of the Rave page).
2. Select Profile Settings.
3. Navigate to the Notification Preferences section.

The User Groups and Permissions to Manage your team's Notification Settings

To be able to manage Notification Settings for your team, you must have a Branch Owner, a Project Manager, a Project Admin, and/or a Financial Admin user group selected in your user profile, and then Manage other user Notification Preferences ticked.

• The Manage Project Notification Preferences - Allows you to select/unselect project-specific notifications.
• The Manage Other User Notification Preferences - Allows you to access the Notification Preferences of other users in your branch
  
  
  Note: If these permissions are not set for a user, they can not access and edit Project Schedule Task, Project, and Timesheet Notification Settings
  
  

Bulk Updating Notifications for your team.

To speed up the process of setting notifications on behalf of your team we have introduced a Bulk Update option.

You can now select multiple 'users' at once and bulk change their permissions.

You will only be able to bulk update notifications for users in groups that the notifications are relevant to. I.E if the user is not able to be a project manager the notifications for "notify me of x when I am the Project manager" wont show. 

Select the users from the drop down.

Then select the Notification Type or Types you want to change. I.E schedule briefing. 

Then select on/off and internal or external (if both options are relevant)

Then select update users. 

This will bulk update those notifications you have chosen.

Note: The user themselves can then log in later and change the notifications themselves based on their own preferences.
