The Notifications Module
The system provides a functionality which allows notifications to be created and sent to system users.
Notifications are used for multiple reasons.
Some examples include:
- Inform system users about updates and changes to the system.
- Send invitation emails to users that have been added to the system.
- Notify administrators about document uploads.
It is important to ensure system users are correctly assigned to the recipient group before creating a notification, so that the notification is sent to the intended users.
The system allows the following recipients to be selected:
- User Triggering the Event - the person responsible for the event being triggered receives the notification
- Administrators - system administrators receive the notification
- Location Administrators - receive notifications for the location they are assigned to
- Project Administrators - receive notifications for the project they are assigned to
- Project Managers - receive notifications for the project they are assigned to
- Project Supervisor - receive notifications for the project they are assigned to
- Subcontractor Managers - receive notifications for the subcontractor they are assigned to
- Subcontractor Admin Users - receive notifications for the subcontractor administrator they are assigned to
- Equipment Owners - receive notifications for the they are assigned to
- Manual Input -
- HR Administrators -
- Auditors -
By selecting Location Administrators, Project Administrators or Project Managers from the recipient’s dropdown, three options appear below:
- Send the notification to all recipients on the system.
- Include the recipients that you choose so that they only receive the notification – a dropdown appears below where you can select specific recipients.
- Exclude the recipients that you choose from receiving the notification – a dropdown appears below where you can select specific recipients.
Setting up Trigger Based Notifications
Triggers are selected when setting up notifications. The system provides a list of all triggers with explanations for each trigger. This functionality can be accessed by clicking ‘Export Guide’ in the Notifications module.
