Overview
This chapter helps users manage alert settings so important updates are visible without creating notification overload. Good preference setup improves focus, reduces missed actions, and supports better work planning during busy schedules. It is especially useful for teams handling many tickets at the same time.
How It Works
Each user can choose which ticket events should trigger notifications and where those notifications should be delivered, such as email or in-app alerts. At the same time, managers can define common templates and schedules to keep communication style consistent across the organization. This combination balances personal control with business-level standardization.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Open Configuration > My Notification Preferences.
- Choose preferred channels (email, in-app).
