Notifications in Dalux help you stay informed about relevant updates in your projects.
Projects often include continuous communication, such as new tasks, comments, reminders, document updates, and general project activity. Managing your notifications helps you receive the right information at the right time.
Notification settings can be adjusted at any time and vary depending on your role and responsibilities in the project.
Managing notifications
Find and change your notification settings in your profile settings.
You can adjust your notification settings either across all projects you're part of or individually for each project.
Dalux offers various notification types depending on the project and your role. Different roles have different notification needs, so it is a good idea to customize your notification settings to fit your role and responsibilities.
| Notification type | How it works |
|---|---|
| Daily summary | A daily overview of recent project activity relevant to you, for tasks, files, and comments. Great, when you want a structured overview without receiving multiple individual notifications throughout the day. |
| Instant notifications | Instant notification when you are assigned tasks, comments, file approvals, or submittals. Great, when you need to react quickly or stay updated continuously on important project activity. |
| Push notifications | Immediate alerts on mobile devices when you are assigned new tasks. Great, when you work on-site and need to react quickly or you want to stay updated continuously on important project activity. |
Balancing your notifications
A customized notification setup helps you stay informed while filtering out unnecessary information.
If you receive too many notifications, reduce less critical updates while keeping important task and communication alerts enabled.
If you receive too few notifications, enable immediate notifications for important activities to ensure you are aware of assigned responsibilities and project updates.
We suggest following these recommendations:
- Adjust notifications based on your role and responsibilities
- Use push notifications if you work actively on-site
- Use daily summaries for a structured overview
- Keep important task and communication notifications enabled
