Re: [jtrac-users] Email notifications

Tauren,

Yes, you indeed have to check the notify check box for each user you wish to
notify!

If have setup a group notification list and created a dummy user with the
group email id. When I need to notify my group, I click the check box for
this dummy user. It works fine for us.


I personally hate to spam every user for every change in JTrac. I think we
need a feature to allow users to watch certain jTrac items without getting
spammed. Here is what I think is needed:

1. Users can add/remove a watch to any item.
2. Users can watch multiple items at a time.
3. Users should get notified only if their watched item is updated.
 
Hope this helps!

Saurabh

Subject: [jtrac-users] Email notifications

I'm unclear on how the email notifications work.  Sometimes I get
notifications and sometimes I don't.  I've watched the mail logs and
it seems like it is only sending out email to the person who an issue
is assigned to when I comment on an issue.  So when I am assigned the
issue, I get the email, but nobody else does. Is that the expected
behavior?

For all the users of a space to get notifications of all changes to
all issues, do all of the Notify by Email names need to be checked?
Is there some way to default all of the names to be checked so I don't
have to manually do it for every new issue?  It seems cumbersome to
use for larger numbers of users.  It would be better to email all
users by default, and allow a way to turn off users instead.

Or is this not the way it works?  If not, could someone please explain it?

Thanks!
Tauren
