Manage How Users Receive Notifications (How-To)

Article Details

All users will receive notifications via the in-app Notifications Center, regardless of these preferences. Notifications can also be received by users in three additional ways— via email, SMS, or push notifications on a mobile device through the Gingr Notifications App. These preferences can be managed per user group.

 

Before You Begin

Important: Notifications and associated comments will be retained in your app for a limited duration of 14 days. After this period, you can conveniently access and track changes by utilizing the History Page, located in Left-hand Navigation: Reports and More » History, or by referring to any relevant reports.

  • What notifications a user receives depends on their group and the permissions that group is configured to have. You can change these notification permissions at any time. You can also create more groups to fine-tune exactly what each user should get. For more information see our article on User Groups.

  • Marking a notification as read will mark it as read for every user that received this notification. All users will still be able to see the notification in their Read Notifications lists if needed.

  • Notifications can be local to only the relevant location where the notification was triggered or can be global, meaning the notification will display at all locations regardless of where it is relevant. For more information see the section below on Differences Between Global and Local Notification Settings.
