Automatic Notifications
With the context menu command My notifications, users can opt to be notified by email when a chosen element undergoes changes or transitions to a specified state. No notification is sent to the user who changes the state or contents of a given element.
With version 8.2 and later, notifications are sent as system messages in the chat feature of objectiF RM’s messenger.
