Improve the appearance of Notification Transmittals when received via email Merged

Improvements needed - 

1) Project title to be included in the email description, along with the title of the notification.  Currently it just says "New Viewpoint For Projects Notification".  This is not helpful for someone working on multiple Viewpoint projects at once.  Alerts are often ignored in Outlook because it is necessary to open up each one to find out what it contains.

2) Recipients are currently shown in a large table which takes up most of the email.  This list should be more concise and take up less room.  It's not the most relevant part of the email.

3) The attachments should be shown in a table, rather than just document numbers in one long string.  
     List the Name, Description, Organisation, revision and Authored date

4)  The Download link should be at the very top of the email.  Not right at the bottom where it will be missed.  It would be helpful to be able to download the attachments directly from the email as well, without having to open up the notification in a separate window.   To many clicks and not obvious to all users.

5)  Ability to add a default comment to all notifications.  Currently comments need to be copy and pasted repeatedly from elsewhere.

    Hi everyone,

     

    We are progressing into the design and development stage of a project to restyle and reorganise the email notifications from VfP. We would very much like to engage with you and incorporate your feedback into this work to uplift the notification experience from VfP.

    If you would like to engage with us in this project, please send me an email andrew.brennan@viewpoint.com and tell me a little about yourself and how you engage with VfP:

    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,

    Andrew Brennan

    It would be ideal if you could customise the title information for each Transmittal issued
