Notifying members about an entry
To bring an entry to the attention of members in the activity, you can notify them about the entry. Members whom you notify receive an e-mail message or a notification in the Updates tab in the Home page feature that contains the description of the entry and a link to it.
Any member of an activity can notify other members about any entry in the activity.
The server can send notifications to current members of the activity and to anyone who has added a current entry to the activity even if the person is no longer a member.Sending a notification does not create an entry in the activity.
To notify members about an entry...
- Open an activity and locate an entry that you want to notify someone about.
- Click More Actions > Notify Other People.
If you cannot see the More Actions link, your view might be collapsed. Click the entry title to expand the entry.
- Do one of the following:
- To notify everyone, select All members of this activity.
This option is not available from a community activity.
- To notify a subset of people, select the boxes next to the names of individual members that you want to notify. To find people, scroll through the alphabetic list of names or type a person's name into the Type to filter this list field. In community activities, if the activity has more than 500 members, you can click Next to see additional names.
The filter searches the names on the current page only. If there are multiple pages, click Next until you get to a page with names in the same alphabetic range as the name you are looking for, and then type the name into the filter box.
- Optional: To add a comment to be displayed in the notification that is sent to the members in addition to the entry description, add it to the Notify Message field.
- Click Send to send the notification, and then click OK.
