About Notifications
Instant notifications help you to keep track of the current status of your project or workspace. In Valispace, you can be notified about recent changes that concern (parts of) your project as well as finished background calculations.
Users can receive notifications if they subscribe to a model or they are the owner of the model. When the object changes they will receive an alert.
These are the different types of notifications a Valispace user can receive:
