How to integrate notifications and messages with the comments column in Timetonic. Let's see how to set up comment column notifications to effectively alert and facilitate collaboration. Let's look at this in detail. I am in a workspace. In a table, I am going to create a new column, the comments column. In this configuration window, two options are available to us: a visual notification and the sending of a message. Both independent, we can use either one or the other or both together. Both options have the same choices for their configuration. To activate it, just by mentioning the username in the message or just by mentioning the user ID from another column in your table. This is the option I will choose. In this case, I will select this column that has the user ID. I validate my settings. I'll enter a comment in the field for my collaborator so he can be notified. Let's go to the collaborator’s workspace to see how this looks. The collaborator rightly received a comment and a notification in the field with a red message badge; has he received a notification. He can open the field and read the message I left him. To complete this example, let's change the settings of the comment column to use the visualization of the notification by only notifying the user ID in the comment field and validate the option to send a message in the workspace. Let's look at this in detail. I'm going to notify the collaborator. I send him the message and let's look at what's happening on his side. In the same way as before, the collaborator received the message in the comment field but this time in the messaging space he will be notified of the message and he can, which is very practical, click on the link line in order to open the file and find the line that concerns the subject of the message. As you can see, this feature improves collaboration in your workspaces with Timetonic.
