Notifications
Open your notifications
Select Notifications in the sidebar's Actions group (a dot means unread), or in your avatar menu on the workspace list. The inbox shows notifications from every workspace you belong to; filter by Unread, category or workspace.
Selecting a notification opens the related page and marks it read. Marking read and Dismiss cannot be undone. A notification also disappears once it no longer applies, for example Ready for Approval after the order is approved or cancelled.
The unread count refreshes when you return to the tab, not while it sits in the background.
What you are notified about
Every notification appears in your inbox. Whether it is also emailed depends on its category and your email preferences.
| Notification | When | Who receives it | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| {order} Submitted for Review | An order is submitted for feasibility review, or an amended quote is requested. Not sent for instant quotes. | Approvers and Managers of the order's project | Status updates |
| {order} Ready for Approval | An order is quoted and awaits approval. | Approvers and Managers of the order's project | Action required |
| {order} Quote Expiring Soon | An unapproved order's quote expires within 2 days. | Approvers and Managers of the order's project | Action required |
| {order} Approved by {name} | An order is approved. | Everyone in the order's project | Status updates |
| {order} Cancelled by {name} | An order is cancelled. | Approvers and Managers of the order's project, plus its submitter | Status updates |
| {order} Completed | All of an order's deliverables are ready. | Everyone in the order's project | Status updates |
| {deliverable} In Progress, Delivered or Cancelled | A deliverable reaches that status. | Everyone who can read the deliverable | Status updates |
| New Control Data Uploaded for {project} in {workspace} | Someone uploads control data to a project. | Editors, Approvers and Managers of that project | Status updates |
| {workspace} Map Tile Quota Exceeded | API keys pass the monthly tile quota (tiles are still served). At most once per UTC month. | Workspace Admins | Alerts |

- Project roles decide project notifications. A workspace Admin gets them only for projects they are a member of, and approval ones only as an Approver or Manager.
- "Everyone who can read the deliverable" means members of the order's project, the area's project and any project the area is linked into.
- You are never notified about your own action.
- Several control data uploads to one project collect into one inbox item until you read it.

|---|---|
| Each event | An email for every notification, as it happens. |
| Digest | One summary email at 08:00, 11:00, 14:00, 17:00 and 20:00 Brisbane time (AEST, no daylight saving). |
