Best Practices for Notifications

Notifications should help you act faster, not create noise. Good notification use depends on both system configuration and personal preference settings.

Best practice 1: Keep key categories enabled

Assignment and approval-related notifications are often the most operationally important. Keep these enabled if you directly own work.

Best practice 2: Use the bell for quick checks

The notification bell is best for lightweight awareness during the day.

Best practice 3: Use the Notifications page for review

When you need to process multiple updates, use the full Notifications page with filters and search.

Best practice 4: Mark items as read after review

Keeping your unread count meaningful makes it easier to know when something truly needs attention.

Best practice 5: Be selective with email

Use email notifications for high-value events that matter outside the app, not for every workflow update.
