Discussions

ProdPad encourages discussions for all users throughout the application.

Whenever you are mentioned or receive an update for a discussion you are part of, you will receive a new notification in the Discussions icon on the bottom left-hand side of the navigation bar.

By clicking on the notification icon, you will have access to all threads you are part of.

Quickly reply to each discussion directly from the slideout, and if needed, click on the link on the discussion header to navigate to the originating item. 

Managing Discussions

When you are mentioned in a new discussion, you can click on the discussion notification (pictured above) which will open the discussion slide-out menu. New discussions will be highlighted in light blue, and read discussions will appear in white. 

To mark a discussion as read, hover your cursor over the right-hand side of the notification and navigate to the dot symbol once it appears. From here, click Mark as read to mark the notification as read. Alternatively, you can also follow the same process to mark a notification as Unread. 

You can click on a discussion which will open up the comment thread related to that discussion. From here, you can easily communicate between users. To send a comment into the thread, simply type your reply in the " Add a comment" text field at the bottom of the slide-out menu and click the reply icon. 

Discussion Settings

If you'd like some quiet time to yourself and want to mute notifications, you can use the Mute option to ensure notifications are held back for a set timeframe. 

If you'd like to keep in-app notifications and turn off emails, you can do so directly from the Settings page.
