Submit Your Suggestions for Viewpoint for Projects

customisation of email alerts, so the email subject line tell you more about whats been uploaded or commented on.

at the moment you get a file name that tells you nothing and a project title. doesn't help when you have lots of emails to look at, some people here have thousands to wade through.

    Information that is emailed direct from the system, when received in an email doesn't have a suitable subject heading. The subject heading is "Attached items are from xxxx" this should say what the item is

    This change would see a huge increase in interaction with VP across businesses, people need accurate information, customizing the title bar would definitely mean greater 'buy-in' from users in our organisation.

    Can we just include more information in the emails so that people know where the votes are coming from.

    This issue has now been 'In Development' for coming up three years. Can you give us an update?

    The main complaint I have with this system and in my opinion the biggest flaw is that when we upload new drawings / documents, there is no way of anyone knowing what has actually changed on the document without opening it up, which is extremely frustrating when 100's of documents have been updated. When uploading a revised document, there is a 'Notes' box that can be filled in. Can the transmittal emails not be customised to include 'Notes' as another column?

    As suggested by others, I would like to be able to:

    1) Opt out of emails for one enterprise but opt in for another enterprise.

    2) Be able to customise email alerts to include the document description. The description is the document title which is actually meaningful to people, unlike the name or filename which are usually just the document number.

    Please do the same for all emails that are sent out by the system.

    This is really important and you guys thought so 4 years ago (look at the dates of the comments) - Where is this ?????

    This issue has been 'in development' for seven months now. Is there any update?

    When you get an alert for tasks in your emails, the following details appear:

    Item Name:

    Item Path:

    Owner Name:

    File Name:

    Workflow Name:

    Workflow Path:

    Approval Node Name:

    Approval Node Description:

    Activity Status:

     

    However, the DESCRIPTION of the item does not appear.

    This causes delay and is not helpful.

    I believe it could be easily improved.

     

    Any advice?

    Name:

    Company:

    Job Title:

    VfP Enterprises I work on:

    How I engage with the notifications from VfP on a daily basis:

    (Are you mainly distributing/responding/both and what are the key processes you're involved with)

    Suggestions for improving/challenges faced with the email notifications from VfP:

    (1-5 suggestions or challenges you face with VfP notifications)

    We would require you to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before we can progress to the next stage and share our mocks and work in-flight with you. I'll distribute this via email for those of you who wish to engage with us here.

    Looking forward to hearing from you soon.


    Thanks,

    It is "planned", but does it really take years to remove "New Viewpoint For Projects™" from the email notification Subject?

    Agreed... We also need this Yesterday. Contractors are refusing to use 4Projects based on this notification problem alone. We really need this sorted! Thanks

    Thanks for all your feedback here - please also see the linked idea 535 for some more comments and confirmation that the Viewpoint notifications are currently under review. We'd welcome more feedback on specific areas of the system you'd like to see more targeted information in your email notifications, as we work to align these for modern consumption across multiple devices.

    Kind regards,

    Andrew
