How notification works in Twproject?
There are three entities: events, subscriptions and messages.
Topic actions like project creation, status or dates changes etc. raises events when happens. Events are queued. By default every minute, event queue is scanned and matched with the subscription set.
If an event match with a subscription a message is generated and queued. Messages dispatcher periodically send messages on their channel (email, sticky, digest or logs).
Subscription are created while assigning resources to projects. https://twproject.com/support/using-twproject/projects-and-tasks/notifications-subscriptions/
Which are the available channels to get notified?
Available channels are:
- E-mail: you will receive an email every time an event that you are subscribed to is generated .
- Digest: every week you will receive an email summing up all the events generated during the week that.
- Sticky notes: when an event occurred a sticky note will appear on your Twproject screen.
- Log: In the main menu, you will notice this icon.
When an event occurs, a small number will appear next to it. By clicking on the icon, you can open and read the new notifications. Scrolling through all of them will reset the counter.
Where can I see all my subscriptions?
All subscriptions are listed in your resource page. Click on your avatar at the bottom menu of the page, choose an option in the menu and go to the last tab tab subscriptions
Where I can change events listened by default?

To edit these, login as administrator and go in admin page -> roles. Select the role per project you want to edit, at the bottom of the page you will find the table to customize default subscriptions.
