## Notification settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under user profile page you can find the notification settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notification settings are divided into three groups:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Global Settings
|
|
|
|
|
* Group Settings
|
|
|
|
|
* Project Settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each of these settings have levels of notification:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Disabled - turns off notifications
|
|
|
|
|
* Participating - receive notifications from related resources
|
|
|
|
|
* Watch - receive notifications from projects or groups user is a member of
|
|
|
|
|
* Global - notifications as set at the global settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Global Settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Global Settings are at the bottom of the hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
|
Any setting set here will be overridden by a setting at the group or a project level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Group or Project settings can use `global` notification setting which will then use
|
|
|
|
|
anything that is set at Global Settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Group Settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Group Settings are taking precedence over Global Settings but are on a level below Project Settings.
|
|
|
|
|
This means that you can set a different level of notifications per group while still being able
|
|
|
|
|
to have a finer level setting per project.
|
|
|
|
|
Organization like this is suitable for users that belong to different groups but don't have the
|
|
|
|
|
same need for being notified for every group they are member of.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Project Settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Project Settings are at the top level and any setting placed at this level will take precedence of any
|
|
|
|
|
other setting.
|
|
|
|
|
This is suitable for users that have different needs for notifications per project basis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
