I’ve been working on a suggestion for better UX on the notifications, but before I’m done with anything, I think it’s important to have a comprehensive view of the current state of notifications: which types there are, for which things, their default behaviour and if/how they can be changed by the user.
For this task I need help from developers and users (@tiltec feel free to use your admin-powers here on the forum to edit this post, correct and add stuff). Much of the default behaviour I have guessed, so please correct them and add what I forgot…
So let’s get started…
Types of notification
Categorized according to where you get or see the notification
-

The list goes as follows:
