Release: Message Center

💬 Message Center Release! 💬

‍

🚀 Introducing Message Center!

2 main areas of the message center with an area for User Settings:

• Activity: Provide users with real-time automatic notifications when there are updates for their projects. (Notifications for The Shop and My Catalog are not included yet)
• Messages: Aggregate comments where the user is mentioned into a central location
• Both Activities and Messages span across all Accounts a user has access to

Activity Notifications:

‍

• Activity Notifications will be kept in the feed for 10 days, after 10 days they will be removed from the feed
• Filtering by project drop-down will only show notifications for the selected project
• Notifications happen for all accounts that a user is associated with. Account switching happens automatically when messages or notifications come from another account
• Flags will pin and save a notification or message to the top of the list
• Three dot menu allows users to mark things as read/unread; silence a category of notifications, and silence a project from sending notifications

Notifications fall into 4 categories that can be enabled/disabled per user:

Project Updates:

• item price changes
• item lead time changes
• completion date change
• install date changed
• budget changed

Delivery and Install Updates

• expected delivery date changes

🚀 User and Project Settings

Settings are both at the user level, which are global for a user; and at the project level.

• Notification categories are global for a user
• Projects can be enabled/disabled for notifications
• Weekly Digest now has a user setting for a user to opt out of the digest while still being enabled for other users of the project
