Conversations
Project conversations are unique. It's any unread conversation or reply to a conversation on any project where you are on the team.
- By clicking on "Mark everything as read", all current project conversations you are on the team of will disappear from this view.
On all the other tabs (i.e. Open), the conversation has to be assigned to you. That's the main criteria.
- Open is any uncompleted conversation regardless of date.
- Today is any uncompleted conversation with an activity date of today.
- This Week is any uncompleted conversation with an activity date for this week.
- Unread is any uncompleted conversation with a new reply, but it has to be assigned to you.
- Favorite is any conversation you have "Starred" as a favorite.
