They ensure the right people are informed at the right time, so nothing falls through the cracks. ### What are notifications? A notification is a user-specific update triggered by activity in the platform. For example, you may receive a notification when: - someone mentions you in an assessment note - someone replies in a thread you are part of - you are assigned as an owner - an assessment or system is marked as completed Each notification is personal, linked to a specific item, and can be marked as read once reviewed. ### ![notification-panel](https://docs.mineos.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/notification-panel.png?width=311&height=459&name=notification-panel.png) ### Where you receive notifications You can receive notifications through: #### 1. In-app (always on) - Available via the notifications panel in Mine - Shows real-time updates - Includes read/unread status #### 2. Email (optional) - Sent based on your personal notification settings - Includes a link to manage your preferences > Note: Not every notification is sent via email. Email delivery depends on your settings. ### Managing your notification preferences You can control how you receive notifications from your personal settings: - Turn **email notifications on/off** per notification type - Control **in-app notifications** visibility To update your preferences: 1. Go to **Settings** 2. Open **My notifications** 3. Adjust your preferences per category (e.g. assessments, inventory) ![notifications-prefs](https://docs.mineos.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/notifications-prefs.png?width=670&height=400&name=notifications-prefs.png) ### Collaboration on assessments: #### Common use cases - **Direct collaborators to specific sections** Clarify who is responsible for which part of the assessment, so work is clearly divided and not duplicated. - **Ask for missing information** Request required values (e.g. data types, data subjects) from owners or internal users when collaborators cannot edit these themselves. - **Coordinate handoffs between users** Let others know when your part is complete or when they can start working, to keep the workflow moving. - **Keep discussions in context** Use notes within the assessment to keep communication tied to the exact question or section, instead of external tools. - **Flag blockers or decisions** Highlight dependencies, approvals, or uncertainties so others understand what’s delaying progress or how decisions were made. #### Example workflow: 1. An owner is assigned to an assessment 2. The owner is notified and reviews the empty assessment, optionally adds a few basic details 3. The owner assigns an assessment to a collaborator or collaborators. 4. The collaborator works on their section and leaves a note asking for a missing custom value. 5. The owner receives a notification and updates the required information. 6. The collaborator completes their part and submits. 7. The owner receives a submission notification and reviews the completed answers. 8. The assessment is marked as completed, triggering the final status notification. This workflow helps keep communication, accountability, and progress tracking inside the platform. ### Notification types currently available | Notification type | Who receives it | What it means | | --- | --- | --- | | Mention in notes | Mentioned user | Sent when someone mentions you in an assessment note | | Reply in notes thread | User participating in the thread | Sent when someone replies in a thread you are part of | | Collaborator submitted | Assessment owner and relevant participants/subscribers | Sent when a collaborator submits their response.
