Staying up-to-date on your 3DEXPERIENCE platform activity is crucial, especially when you’re not always logged in. Whether you’re traveling or just focusing on other tasks, mail notifications can keep you informed of important updates, such as when someone mentions you in a comment.
See the video below for a step-by-step guide to setting up mail notifications in 3DEXPERIENCE, so you never miss a thing.
Why Set Up Mail Notifications?
While logging into the platform allows you to see all your notifications directly, mail notifications are helpful for times when you’re away from your computer or not regularly checking the platform. With email notifications, you’ll receive an email each time someone mentions you in a comment or any other updates you want to track.
How to Set Up Mail Notifications on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform in 3 Steps
1. Access the Notification Preferences
Start by logging into your 3DEXPERIENCE dashboard. Click on the notification bell icon at the top of the screen to see your recent notifications. Then, navigate to the preferences by clicking the “Preferences” button in the dropdown menu.
2. Choose the Right App for Notifications
In the preferences section, you’ll see an overview of all the apps you can set notifications for.
- If you want to receive notifications about your SOLIDWORKS CAD files or drawings, you’ll need to adjust the settings for the 3DSpace app, as this is where physical products and drawings are typically stored.
- For other content types, such as files stored in 3DDrive, you’ll need to configure notifications specifically for that app.
3. Activate Mail Notifications
Once in the appropriate app’s notification settings, activate the Mail option. You’ll also notice other notification types like:
- Notification Center: Displays updates within the platform.
- Alerts: Pop-ups in your dashboard.
- Browser Notifications: Alerts you in your web browser, even when not on the platform.
You’re Ready to Stay Informed with Email Notifications
Once activated, you’ll start receiving emails whenever there’s an update, such as when a colleague tags you in a comment. The email will include a link to the specific content, allowing you to easily access it within your dashboard.
By enabling mail notifications, you ensure you’re always in the loop, even when you’re not actively using the platform. With just a few clicks, you can customize your alerts to fit your workflow and stay informed about key updates.
