Notification Settings
Overview
Notification Settings – Business Overview
Notification Settings is used in Dafater to control how users receive alerts and updates about important business activities. It ensures that the right people are informed at the right time, without overwhelming them with unnecessary messages. This supports better responsiveness, accountability, and smoother daily operations.
Purpose in Business Operations
Notification Settings defines who gets notified, about what, and how. It allows the organization to align system alerts with real business priorities, such as approvals, task assignments, status changes, or critical exceptions. By tailoring notifications, teams stay informed and can act promptly on matters that affect their responsibilities.
Prerequisites and Setup Requirements
Before using Notification Settings effectively, the following should be in place:
- Users must already exist in Dafater and be assigned appropriate roles or responsibilities
- Key business processes (such as approvals, task handling, or document updates) should be defined and in use
- Management should agree on which events are important enough to trigger notifications
This ensures notifications support business needs rather than becoming distractions.
Typical Workflow and Business Fit
- A business administrator reviews which activities require alerts
- Notification Settings are configured to match those activities
- Users receive notifications when relevant business events occur
- Users take timely action based on the notification received
Within daily operations, Notification Settings acts as a communication bridge between system activity and human decision-making.
