Forum/Document Email Notification Enhancement
Hi All,
Today, we have made an enhancement in email notification to users for forum & document. In 4.0, we allowed the individual users to take control of all the email notifications from Zoho Projects. Based on customer feedbacks to allow the author of forum/document to select the users to be notified, we have rolled out this enhancement.
Yes, as promised we have done the update to allow the author of forum/document to choose the users to be notified irrespective of the the email notification configuration done by the user.
If a user has chosen the option to "Notify me when a message is posted in forums", the notification to that user will be sent for all the forum posts. This email notification control remains intact for the individual user.
New Forum Post
While posting a forum the list of users selected for notification by author will be added to "Watch this topic" list, All the comments to the forum post will be notified to them by default. The screenshot shows the list of users who are watching and who will get notifications if any comment posted to that forum topic.
Similarly to Upload New File
List of users watching the document
Email Notification Configuration also enhanced.
Thanks,
Vijay

Regarding notificationWe will allow the author of forum to force notifications. So irrespective of individual user configuration, author can say who should be notified.Any thoughts on allowing Managers and Admins the ability to override those settings or allow Managers the ability to force a notice from the forums.
Thanks,Mani.
