Notifications

What are Notifications

Notifications are emails that alert you when the system receives certain reports. This helps you respond quickly. The email includes a link directly to the right report in the Web Management System.

Who receives notifications

Team leaders can receive notifications for all the reports sent by people from their team.
If someone is a member of more than one team, when they send a report, notifications will be sent to all their team leaders. It is important that team leaders customise their personal notifications. Only people with ‘Viewing and Action’ permission are able to read reports.
(Team roles and permissions are set in the Admin > Users tab.)

Customising notifications
