Notifications & Preferences

Projects are equipped with a notification system that generates alerts, keeping Project Members informed about updates and actions taken within the project. The respective Project Members may receive system-generated notifications triggered in the following scenarios:

• Inviting a project member to a project

• Re-assigning the Project Member to a task

• Adding comments to a task

• Adding notes in a task

• Collaborating with other Project Members

• Updating owner

The Inbox feature in OvalEdge provides users with a consolidated view of all messages received and sent by other Project Members within the organization.

Customization via System Settings

In Administration > System Settings, users can assign specific permissions to each role, controlling what actions and functionalities that role can perform. These permissions include various actions, such as creating a Project Administrator, accessing data objects (such as tasks), and assigning tasks. Moreover, configurations ensure that the system checks the assigned roles to determine who has access to the project and what actions they are authorized to carry out.

• The System Administrator can configure the task assignee so that a Project Member is made a task assignee based on their access permissions on the object. The default value is empty, but can be configured to Meta Read, Meta Write, Data Preview, Data Read, Data Write, Governance Role, and Admin.

• The System Administrator can configure who can reassign tasks to project members. The default is set to project members, but can be changed to Project Owner or Current Assignee.

• The System Administrator can ensure that Project Members can view the objects in Board View or List View only if they have Read permissions on the object.

• The System Administrator can assign a role to the Project Admin.

To configure project roles and permissions, navigate to the Administration | System Setting | Users & Roles tab.
