Suggestion for implementing e-mail notifications

E-mail notifications

You guys have created a very flexible product. I am excited about the use of email and email's ability to increase interactions between staff.

My understanding is that an update will be coming in the next several months which includes e-mail notifications. I have a few suggestions. First, references to tasks in emails should be hyperlinks so the user could just click on the task to go to the task.

1. Have an option for email notifications to be sent in real time and have an option for notifications to be sent as a summary email 1 time per day.

2. The email notification should have the following headings

Notifications

Tasks with a change of status

Tasks overdue (for this user)

Tasks overdue (for watch list resources for this user)


3. Have an option where a supervisor could send out an email for a task status update for all tasks the user is on the watch list.

Thank you for your consideration.

Craig,

Thank you for the suggestions.

Product manager and developers will discuss the possibility of adding them to the update plan.

Add ability to click on a link in the email to navigate to a task.

Hello Serge,

We have some staff members that are using the e-mail notification. Everyone agrees that the e-mail notification would be of more value if it worked simular to the notifications in Task Manager. Notifications are helpful because you can navigate to the task quickly by clicking on the notification. Otherwise, you have to open the Task Manager, and then locate the correct task before the task can be viewed.

Are there plans to add a feature like this in the near future?

Thank you for your consideration.
