Notifications

When you log into Dradis, you will see a red icon on the bell icon in the header if you have any new notifications. Open the dropdown to see what's new since the last time you logged in:

You also have a similar icon on the project level:

Click on See all notifications to see the full notification feed.

Click on the notification to open up the page and continue the conversation!

You will also see notifications if someone assigns you to a project, an IssueLibrary entry, or a Remediation Tracker ticket. You will also receive notifications if an IssueLibrary entry or Remediation Tracker ticket to which you are assigned or subscribed is updated.

Comments

Comments are available for:

• Content blocks
• Issues
• Evidence
• Notes
• Methodology tasks
• IssueLibrary entries
• Remediation Tracker tickets

Scroll down to the bottom of the page in your project to access the comment form. Type your comment in the box and use @ to mention other team members who are assigned to the project.
