Set notification preferences for components

When you're working with a component, and you select an option that requires Inspire to perform a task, such as move a component, you get a notification about its progress. You can review the list of actions in the Components module that trigger a notification and configure your preferences for whether you want a notification, and where you want to see it.

Tips and tricks

  • If you want to set preferences at the module-level for Components, global Notifications must also be On. Set global notification preferences.
  • Look for the module name in a grey title bar.

  • You can only turn notifications On or Off for the entire module.
  • You can't set a preference for where notifications are sent for the entire module.
  • You can set a preference for where each notification is sent at the module sub-level for each action.
  • For more information on notification preferences, read Change your notification preferences.

You can manage notifications at the global, module, and action level. If you set all three levels of notification preferences, Inspire uses the most granular setting instead of the global setting.

For example: if you use the following settings, when a new branch is created, you receive an Email notification only.

  • Global
    • Notifications are On
    • Only In-app is selected
  • Module
    • Components notifications are On
  • Action
    • Only Email selected (For Notify when a new branch is created)

If you want to set any preferences at the action level, you must turn on global Notifications and module Components notifications.

To set module notification preferences for Components:

  1. In the top right corner of the Inspire menu bar, click the Settings option.
  2. In Notifications:
    1. Select On.
    2. Optionally, select where you want to see a notification if a preference is not set at the module and action level.
  3. Scroll down to the Components notification settings, and in the grey title bar, select On.
  4. Now you can select where you want to receive the notification as Email, Slack (if enabled), and In-app.
    If you don't set a preference for a Components module action, Inspire uses the global Notification preference.
