So the requirement is to create a Subscribe & Unsubscribe button on Queue. The issue is that the user's responsibility of working on a task assigned to a Queue varies from 1 week to a month and then it is handed over to the other user to work. The problem is that currently the users has to go on a the task queue list view to see if there is any new task assigned but this unnecessarily wastes their time. I created a solution but that gives the notification only when the user is a member of that Queue but as mentioned above this membership might change quick quickly and they think asking the admin to change the queue membership could be quite overwhelming for them and the admin as well. Unfortunately, the admin cant give the customisation access of Queues to the users. So what could be right solution for this?

I am working on the Alfresco Process Services and came across the below requirements.
I want to send an email when I involve someone in the task. The involved person should get an email notification. Right now, by default the email notification is not going to the involved person.
Also, is there any way to make the attached documents and task form read only except the task claimer? I mean, only the task claimer should be able to edit the task but all other users in the group should be able to view the task in read only mode.
Any help will be appreciated...
So I have an application that allows users to invite each other to different events. Previously I had a separate collection called Invites that contained an entry for each user and an array of events they were invited to. Since I'm building a prototype, I have insecure on, and I would simply update Invites from the client side.
Recently I changed this so that when a user invites another to an event, it calls a meteor method and updates both the inviter and the invitee's profiles on the client side.
Now my app is running very slowly and I'm not sure why. Even just loading the first page of the app (the login button for example, which uses accounts UI takes forever to load). Since the changes to invitations are the only changes I've made, I'm guessing this is the issue. Is storing invitations on each user's profile the wrong way to go about this? Any ideas about how to debug this slowness? I'm new to meteor/ web dev in general and I'm not sure what the best practices are for writing efficient code.
I want to notify the users about their assignment list/status of their work items via notification.
Instead of sending email notification, is it possible to show the notifications in Tridion itself? Say for example: having new item like "Notifications" under shortcuts-->mytasks?
Or is there any better way to notify the users apart from email communication, because the users dont want to receive so many mails in their mail box.
Yes. The list of items shown shortcuts is extendable, just like every other list I've ever looked at in the Tridion GUI.
Have a look at this blog post from Jaime to get started. The topic of how to extend is was also covered in this question, but Jaime's tutorial is probably a better starting point.
Once you get some experience with writing this extension, you'll probably run into questions similar to the one Nuno asked here (and that was answered expertly by Jaime and Boris).
In general I like to think of workflow notification in two broad groups - Active and Passive. Under active notifications, I really only include email notification, but you could expand the concept to push notifications to an iphone app or send a text message etc. When considering active notifications, it is very common for users to get fed up of having too many alerts from the system, so it is important to design it in a flexible way that allows your users to not feel bombarded with alerts. The most successful implementation I have implemented allowed users to say how often they receive notifications. Typically they set this to every 24 hours, and they receive a summary email of their pending assignments each morning. This allows users who are very active and use their task list regularly to never receive emails, as they normally get to the items before the following day.
Moving to passive forms of notification, if you keep in mind that you can expose a user's task list using the API's the SDL have provided, you could think about implementing the following forms of passive notification:
Create an RSS feed for the Users's assignment list
Create a Widget/Portlet for a company intranet to show a user their assignments
Create some kind of desktop or mobile app which can pull the data
Set the default start screen of the CMS to be the Task List rather than the Dashboard
The last of these options has been an "out of the box" offering from Tridion for a long time (but I think it was dropped by mistake at some point with Tridion 2009 or 2011. However, #Alvin has recently answered one of my other questions, which may help solve this issue (although it may not be supported). Essentially you can set the <defaultpage> node in the CME.config to /Views/Dashboard/Dashboard.aspx#locationId=cme:workitems. This will make the UI automatically open on the work list (BUT I REPEAT... THIS MAY NOT BE SUPPORTED).
We currently have workflow app built with infopath, sharepoint and bitztalk.
Basically, an empployee fills out a form, saves it and clicks "Forward to Manager"
His/her receives an email notification that a form is waiting in his/her queue to be completed.
Manager completes and forwards to next higher up.
The process continues until the final manager sign off and the process is now considered complete.
The cycle can begin again with new form.
The company hired a contractor to do this and is nowwhere to be found.
Unfortunately, we have no one inhouse with the knowledge to maintain this.
I have been asked to try and find out from you experts if it is possible to do this in asp.net.
If yes, can you please provide me with some links to get me started?
Many thanks in advance
I want to build such functionality that allows the user to follow the other users, and when the followed person is updating the information, the follower can get notified for what they are doing.
I think to build the follow functionality, I can use the flag module, but for the notification, what kind of modules are good to work with? I am confused; there are too many modules like notification, messaging, even nodejs module can notify, is there any tutorial that can give me some idea about it ?
It's a bit unclear from your description if you need to follow users or groups.
If you are just following other users all you really need is Flag and Notifications.
If you want to notify users when any new content is added to a group, you'll need OG Notifications which does exactly that. From the project page:
User will be able to subscribe/unsubscribe on the all new nodes posted in a group. And will be able to edit his subscriptions.
