Notification groups are used to easily send a notification to several project members at one time. These groups can also be used to assign an issue to an entire group of users. For example, an issue could be assigned to a group of quality assurance users for testing, then whichever team member has time to complete the task first can begin testing it.
The only place to see the members of a group is on the editing screen for that group. Click Admin > Notification Groups to access the Notification Groups screen. Click on a group from the list. It opens the group in the editing mode.
Adding groups
- From the Notification Groups page, click on Create a New Group to add a notification group.
- Enter a name for the group.
- Select the members you would like to include in the group from the dropdown list. A keyword filter is available to narrow the number of members displayed. The list of members may be filtered to show users fitting each of the following criteria: o Initial – users included in this group before the edit page was opened.
- All – all users.
- Selected – all users who will be included in this group after the Save Changes button is selected.
