Notification for activities in Portfolio and My Workspace

Permanent Link to the Portfolio”

4 Discussion

SIG E-Portfolio, 23 Jan 2015: Should be discussed as part of the General revision and unification of the notification system(s) workshop. We have to make a trade of between information and spamming.

Antonia Weber, 17.07.2015: We developed a notification for "My workspace". 

Since the users don't know when a new file or blog is shared, we added the button "Share and notifie by mail" next to the "Share"-button. The user can notifie users, groups and courses (the option "everybody" is not available in our installation).

In the notification-mail the user finds the name of the file/blog and if it's a file the link to download the file.

This feature was developed for ILIAS 4.4 by leifos in My workspace. Since sharing in My workspace and Portfolio has the same logic, it could be used for the Portfolio as well.
