Hi! I'm looking for a specific piece of documentation—a list of notifications in Dataverse and which roles receive them. Do you know if such documentation exists?
I’m aware of this technical documentation: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/8f697d2905ec19ee6704f0ba4ada2d975f01d238/src/main/java/propertyFiles/Bundle.properties#L844
...but it might be too technical for some users (myself included). Additionally, I believe it doesn’t cover who receives which email notifications.
Does this information exist somewhere? Thanks! :blush:
This is an old document from 2018, not sure how up to date:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Bw8MdN2Cv_IZp31hzZgtdyremvA2DobsC1O9x3PguJY/edit?gid=222483972#gid=222483972
this is exactly what I needed -- thanks, @Sherry Lake :)
Is there any interest in keeping this information up to date? I’d be happy to report if I find something that’s no longer accurate.
Thanks to @Julian Gautier who created it.
Hi @Aina Jené and thanks for mentioning that spreadsheet @Sherry Lake ! Aina your help in keeping it up to date would be awesome. I only update it when I need to use it for something and realize that something's changed.
Although to be honest I've wondered if this is the best way to document this info, so knowing how usable it is for others would also help :)
Notifications have become much more flexible since I made this spreadsheet, too
I think this information is highly valuable for institutions deploying a Dataverse instance. In my case, we're planning which roles each profile should have and what notifications they’ll receive. I imagine this use case applies to other institutions as well.
I’ll make sure to keep the document updated until further notice. :big_smile: Thank you both!
@Sherry Lake wow! How did you even find that spreadsheet? Do you or @Julian Gautier know if it's linked from anywhere?
The Librarian here.... collects everything (online and in my brain). I have a running list of "Julian spreadsheets/documents" links I have collected throughout the years - mainly from the Google Group.
Hmm, maybe I should add it to this spreadsheet of spreadsheets. :big_smile:
