Notification filtering

[katalina-w]

Hi all,

 

Now that we're setting supervisors as managers on more and more projects, I've been asked if it's possible to filter the types of tasks supervisors receive notifications about. For instance, an integration supervisor is receiving notifications about all tasks and publishes, and would benefit from the ability to be able to choose to receive only notifications regarding tracking and matchmove (and anything else he might select).

 

Is this on your roadmap or something you'd consider investigating?

 

Thanks as always,

Kat

Hi Kat,

 

We actually had this on the roadmap when developing the notifications system. Since then we haven't considered it though, but it is definitely something we would like to consider investigating if you are interested in it.

 

We just had a quick discussion now and the way we would like to solve it is to add this as a setting on the manager types, like a setting saying what task types that specific manager type will get notifications about.

 

Let me know what you think.

A setting on the manager types seems like its ideal implementation to us as well.

 

Thank you for your response. We're very happy it's a possibility.

Hi,

 

Any news about this please ?

Thank you

Hey, on the same topic, I have a request, about the filtering in the "inbox" display.

Now we can filter messages on project, type, time unread/starred.

Would it also be possible to filter on users that made the action that triggered the message ( their picture appears on the left side, but no way to filter on a specific person)

We have a person that has subscribed to all the projects ans maintais kind of a planning of all artists, so he needs to be aware of all actions that makes sense to him, by user

Hi,

Our team faced same question as a topic starter. That wold be great for art lead to recieve notifications, that already filtered by task type(Art), as example.

Already voted for that feature on roadmap.

 

Regards.

Just throwing my vote behind this here as well (and on Trello)

 

Users assigned as managers receive so many notifications as to be almost worthless; the signal noise is too great.  

Filtering by custom attributes, task types, and even "subscribing" to notes on specific shots and sequences would be appreciated.

Voted on Trello, but also want to say here that this feature is necessary for a production with multiple department heads. Otherwise, the manager role is essentially useless in larger productions and clutters their inbox.

Voted on Trello too. The current notifications generate too much noise for managers.

We're using the Notification event listener and modified it to listen for 'Notes' statuses. It's worked pretty well so far and can be easily modified. Thanks to Mattias for making it! Here's the bitbucket link https://bitbucket.org/snippets/ftrack/9qpXB/event-listener-notification-example
