Notifications keep you in the loop on what's happening across your orders without having to chase things down. You control exactly what you hear about and how.


Leaving a notification

There are two places in Building Swell where you can leave a comment and tag teammates.

Order Details

Open any order and click the Discussion icon to open the comments panel. Type your message and use @ to tag a specific teammate. They'll receive a Mention notification.

Planning

Each planning task has a comment icon directly in the row. Click it to open the comments for that task and leave a note or tag someone.

Accessing your notifications
