Labs - Real Time Notifications
NOTE: Currently in Labs and only available on Workamajig Hosted Servers.
Workamajig has the capability to alert you in real-time of your Changes and Notifications. This is all done while the browser is open and logged into your Workamajig account.
So regardless of what you are doing on your computer at the time, a "growl" message will appear in the lower right corner of your screen, alerting you of items such as upcoming meetings or if you have something to review and approve.
Additionally, any changes made on-screen such as the Project Schedule, Today Creatives, To Do Board, Deliverable Board, Calendar, Etc; others will see the changes reflect on their screens automatically if they have the same screen open.
