Managing notifications enables you to keep track of your colleagues’ content and group activity in GCcollab in the method that works best for you. You can manage all your notifications directly from your GCcollab Account Settings page.
Locate and click on your profile icon on the top right corner of the page.
Click on Account Settings.
Click on Notifications tab
Notifications Digest
The notifications digest can be used to receive a daily or weekly email that provides a summary of the activities to which you are subscribed. If you choose to enable the notifications digest, you will no longer receive real-time (instant) notifications by email and/or on the site, regarding activities happening on GCcollab (with the exception of administrative-type notifications).
To enable the notifications digest:
From the Notifications Settings page, scroll down to the Notifications Digest section.
Check the box next to Enable notification digest. Once the digest is enabled, new options will appear on your screen, allowing you to set your digest preferences (frequency and language preference).
(Note: your notifications digest reports will appear in your email inbox)
Select your digest preferences
How often do you want to receive the digest? Select Daily to receive it every weekday morning, OR select Weekly to receive it every Monday morning.
In which language do you want to receive the digest? Select English OR French.
Indicate your notifications preference to determine what to include in your notifications digest by checking the box next to Email in your subscription options.
Note: The digest will include all content selected in the 'Email' column, as well the subscriptions in the 'Other content subscriptions' section.
Click Save to update your notifications preferences.
Personal Notifications
Personal notifications enable you to subscribe to comments, likes and activities on your own content (content you created/posted) or when someone @ mentions you.
Check the box next to Email to receive notifications by emails and/or Site to receive messages in your GCcollab notifications inbox.
Click Save to update your notifications preferences.
Colleague Notifications
Colleague notifications enable you to subscribe to your colleagues’ content. By subscribing to your colleagues, you will be notified when they create or share content.
Note: You will not receive notifications when your colleagues create new content within a group, unless you are also subscribed to that group.
To subscribe to colleague notifications:
From the Notifications Settings page, scroll down to the Colleague Notifications section.
Click on Subscribe to your colleagues to display a list of your colleagues.
Use the filter item box to search for a particular colleague.
Check the box next to the colleague(s) you want to subscribe to.
Click Save to update your notifications preferences.
Group Notifications
Group notifications enable you to subscribe to the groups you have joined. By subscribing to a group, you will be notified of new activity or content in that the group, such as a new blog post, discussion topic, etc.
Important: You will not receive notifications for any subsequent comments/replies made on that content unless you:
- you post a comment about that content;
- post a reply to that content or share that content;
- subscribe to the content using the bell icon. To do this, simply select the bell icon located below the post that you wish to subscribe to.
Therefore, if you receive a notification with a topic or discussion you would like to follow, or if someone is asking a question that you would like to read the answer to, you need to click on the link to the content in the notification and subscribe to it using the Bell Icon located below the post.
To subscribe to group notifications (new content only):
In notification settings, listed under each group, you will find the group content you are subscribed to. You will also receive notifications when comments/replies are posted on that content. You are subscribed to this content because you have manually subscribed using the bell icon, or because you have commented, replied or shared this content.
From the Notifications Settings page, scroll down to the Groups Notifications section.
Check the box next to Email to receive email notification and/or Site to receive messages in your GCcollab notifications inbox. This will enable notifications for all new content posted within the group.
By clicking on Group Content under a group, you may choose which content you would like to subscribe to.
Click Save to update your notification preferences.
Other Content Subscriptions
Other content subscriptions include all other content you have subscribed to outside of groups. These content subscriptions are enabled either because you have manually subscribed using the bell icon, or because of auto-subscriptions.
To manage your other content subscriptions:
On the bottom of the “Notifications Settings” page, you will see “Other Content Subscriptions”.
Click on the Unsubscribe button to stop receiving notifications for this content.
Then, click on the content that you wish to subscribe to.
Click Save when making any changes to your notifications settings.
