Re: Program notifications - where to specify communication formats?

 

Hi,

Just a brief follow-up: I was reading through the user and developer
manuals for both program notifications and program stage notifications, but
I only looked at program stage notifications in the system.

Now I noticed that

1.
In the Program notification configuration form, you can specify SMS and/or
email (it looks like internal messaging is compulsory?). NOTE THAT THIS
PART OF THE DEFINITION FORM IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE MANUALS.

2.
The same options are NOT included with the program STAGE notifications -
hence my question above. This type of inconsistency looks like more like a
bug (omission) than a deliberate design flaw.

Halvdan is no longer working on the new messaging component - has anybody
else taken over?

Regards
Calle
