How to manage notifications

Notifications have been designed to help you stay focused on the things that matter, whilst stopping you from missing anything important or requiring action. To avoid notifications becoming a distraction, you can manage what you receive and when, allowing you to concentrate on tasks without unnecessary interruptions.

The following notifications are available to workspace users:

User level notifications 

User level notifications are accessed via User Profile > Notifications. From here you can do the following:

• Switch your system notifications on or off by ticking or unticking the box next to a notification (the default setting is On). 
• View any individual project notifications which have been switched off. To do this, expand the triangle against each notification to reveal the list.
• View which of your projects have field change notifications switched on. To do this, expand the triangle against ‘Change Notifications’ to reveal a list of projects (where relevant). Expand the triangle against a project to reveal a list of fields.
• Control how often a missed notification summary email is received (the default is once every hour). 
• Choose the sound played when a notification is received whilst logged into Verto (default is none).

Project specific notifications 

Whilst in a project you have been added to, click Actions > Notifications. From here you can do the following:

• Switch your notifications on or off by ticking or unticking the box next to a notification (default setting is On). Note: any notifications which have been switched off at the user level will be shown as unticked in the project notifications list. These can only be switched back on via the user profile.

Bell icon

Regardless of whether an alert tone has been set up or not, the bell icon will always “wobble” whenever a new notification arrives.

Missed notifications

If you are not logged into Verto, a summary email can be sent to your external email account detailing all missed notifications. This can be set to your preferred time interval e.g. immediately, hourly, daily.
