How to set project notifications and overall activity

You can have control over the notifications which are being sent to you. To set the default notifications, navigate to Administration » Settings » E-mail notifications. Here you can set a notification e-mail address (FROM). This address doesn´t have to exist, whatever you enter will appear as the e-mail sender. However, make sure it has a correct e-mail form: something@somewhere.com. To hide notification recipients in bcc, just tick the checkbox "Notification recipients in bcc". If you prefer plain-text notification e-mails instead of standard HTML-formatted e-mails, tick the checkbox "Plain text mail (no HTML)".

Select actions for which e-mail notifications should be sent.

You are also able to personalize the e-mail a bit by adding a header and footer.

A user is also able to modify the notification settings by himself on his user profile (if he has permission to edit his profile).

Default events for overall activity on a project

To configure which types of activity should be visible in the "Overall activity" view of a project by default, navigate to Administration » Settings » Projects » Default events for overall activity. Here you check the requested activity types and save them.

To see the "Overall activity" view of a project, add module "Project controls" to your project overview page and select the option "Overall activity".

The activity types are pre-selected according to your default settings but you can always overrule these default settings manually for a specific project.
