🔔Notifications

After careful and prolonged consideration, as of May '24 we have implemented basic notification functionality into StoryKeeper. This is likely to evolve as people start using this basic implementation, and we encourage you to share your feedback or ideas.

When publishing content to a WayFinder canvas, by default a notification will be broadcast to all other StoryKeeper users who are also associated with that particular canvas. You may select not to broadcast a notification by de-selecting the 'send notification' checkbox in the publishing options...

When another StoryKeeper user has published to a canvas you are associated with, you will see a grey notification indicator (with a number) overlayed on the alarm icon at the top of StoryKeeper...

When you click on the alarm icon it will display a drop-own list with the name of the canvas(es) and the elapsed time since content was last published there. You can click on the name of the canvas to open that canvas on the WayFinder Platform...

You can see in the screenshot above there is also a 'do not disturb' option - when this is activated you will not see the grey number indicator when notifications are broadcast (as we all know how distracting this can be when you are trying to focus!). Note that the canvas list will still display the most up to date information whenever you choose to view it.

See the video below for a brief demo of the Notification feature...
