Within Flow Production Tracking, you have an Inbox.
00:13
The Inbox can be accessed via the Inbox tab in the global navigation menu.
00:17
On the left hand side, you will see a list of notifications.
00:22
You can filter your Inbox to show you only
00:24
messages that are about specific updates, like publishes or notes,
00:30
or you can hide read messages to show you only those messages you haven't yet got to.
00:37
Your site may ask you if you would
00:38
like to display desktop notifications for your Inbox.
00:42
Choose OK, if you'd like to receive notifications in this way.
00:47
Now, through the concept of following,
00:49
you can receive notifications when new notes, versions, publishes, or other
00:54
important changes are made on anything related to your work.
00:58
These notifications will be sent to you via your Flow Production Tracking Inbox.
01:02
To receive notifications,
01:04
you need to be following what you want to be notified about.
01:08
let's set the kind of notifications we will receive. From Account
01:11
Settings, which is accessed by going to the User Profile
01:14
thumbnail on the top right of the interface and selecting Account Settings,
01:18
go to the My Follow Settings tab.
01:25
you can set up which information you
01:26
will be subscribed to receive notifications about.
01:30
I'm using Flow Production Tracking as Jordan.
01:32
Jordan can choose to be notified if a note, version, or file is
01:36
published to her site and linked to a task she is following.
01:39
She can also choose to be notified if the assignment, bid, start date,
01:43
due date, or status of a task she is following is updated.
01:47
Being notified of changes to tasks directly in
01:50
her Inbox will help Jordan to ensure she
01:52
stays on top of any changes in her deadlines and task assignments in real time.
01:57
Once Jordan has set which types of notifications she will receive,
02:00
she can choose what she's going to get
02:02
notifications about. To receive notifications on specific things,
02:06
Jordan will need to follow those things directly.
02:10
From Jordan's profile page,
02:11
let's check out some of the tasks that she has been assigned to.
02:16
Let's click into one of these tasks.
02:21
We'll get more into navigating your site and reading pages in future videos.
02:25
all you need to know is that we're in a task detail
02:28
page which gives us information about this task that Jordan has assigned to.
02:34
By clicking on the follow button located on the top right of the page,
02:38
Jordan is now following this task.
02:40
Since Jordan has set up her notification
02:43
settings and has started following this task,
02:45
she will now receive a notification in her Inbox
02:47
whenever there is an update to this task.
02:50
Let's see this in action.
02:53
Alexandra is a manager on Signal, the same project that Jordan is working on.
02:58
She is updating the schedule and has decided that the
03:00
due date for Jordan's task will need to change.
03:03
Alexandra is going to change the due date of Jordan's task to next week.
03:08
When Jordan logs into her site,
03:10
she will now have a red notification over top of her Inbox to indicate there
03:14
is a new message. When Jordan clicks into her Inbox and checks her unread message,
03:19
she can see that she has been notified that the due date of her task has now changed.
03:25
Being notified of changes directly to your Inbox will
03:27
help you stay on top of your tasks.
