Notification Center

How to use the notification center in Indema to stay on top of tags and activity across your workspace.

Written By Julia M.

The Notification Center collects everything that needs your attention in Workroom: approvals, contract activity, chat messages, @mentions and task reminders. It sits at the top right of every page.

The Workroom header: studio search, keyboard shortcuts, quick actions, the notification bell and your avatar

Open your notifications

  1. Click the bell icon in the top header, just left of your avatar. The badge shows how many are unread (for example 9+).

  2. The panel shows your newest notifications first. An unread one has a green dot.

  3. Click a notification to go straight to the record — the approval, contract, chat or task.

The three tabs

Tab

Shows

All

Everything: approvals needed, contracts opened or signed, new messages in Comms channels, and more.

Reminders

Task timing alerts, such as Task due today, Task due in 1 day and Task overdue.

Mentions

Places someone @mentioned you — in tasks, Comms and notes.

Click Mark all read to clear the unread dots.

Tag a teammate

Type @ followed by a name in a note, task or Comms message. They're notified straight away (depending on their notification settings).

Choose what you're notified about

Go to Settings → You → Notifications. Each event can go to three channels:

  • Center — the bell panel.

  • In-app — a pop-up while you're working.

  • Email

The switch under a channel's heading turns that channel off for every event. The switches on each row control individual events.

Notification settings with Center, In-app and Email channels per event

Events you can control:

  • Assigned to a task

  • New tasks on projects I manage — Right away, Once a day or Off

  • A delivery date changed on a task you're on

  • Task due soon — choose how many days before

  • New chat message

  • You were @mentioned

  • Invoice activity

  • Estimate signed

  • New form response

  • Contract activity — signed, or the email opened

  • New lead

  • Timelog needs approval

  • Change order needs approval

  • Purchase order activity

  • Expense activity

These settings are personal — they don't affect your teammates.

Troubleshooting

  • I'm not getting a notification I expect. Check that event's row and the channel's main switch in Settings → You → Notifications.

  • Too many emails. Turn off the Email column for noisy events, or set New tasks on projects I manage to Once a day.
