Notifications for activities done in Bold BI

This section explains how to configure notification settings to notify users of various activities in Bold BI.

Notifications can be set up by the System Administrator in the notification settings page and by users on the user profile page.

Site notifications settings

The Admin can manage application notification preferences by enabling or disabling email and system notifications in the site notification settings. If settings are disabled in the site notification settings, user notification settings will be disabled, and they cannot change their notification setting preference.

There are two different types of notification.

• Email Notifications
• System Notifications

Email notifications

Users will be notified of activities by email based on the settings configured here.

System notifications

System notifications will inform users of activity on comments based on the settings configured here.

System notifications will appear at the top right corner near the user’s profile picture, as shown in the following image.

Users can navigate to a specific comment by clicking the dashboard name in the notification section. To configure user notification settings, users can navigate to the profile page by clicking on settings.

List of notifications

Notify the owner when someone comments on the dashboard

Enabling this option will send an email or system notification to the dashboard owner when someone comments on it.

Enabling this option will send an email or system notification to all users who have access to the dashboard whenever someone comments on it.

Notify the user when they are mentioned in a comment

Enabling this option will send an email or system notification to the user whenever someone mentions their name in a comment on the dashboard.

Notify the user about comments when they have watch enabled for the dashboard

Autowatch will be enabled for comments on dashboards whenever a user adds comments to a dashboard they created or have access to. This setting is useful for receiving notifications for specific dashboards rather than all dashboards. Users can disable other notification options and watch a specific dashboard comment.

Apart from autowatch on created and accessible items, users can also watch a specific item.

Users can toggle between watching and not watching a dashboard comment at any time.

User synchronization notification
