Here at Labstep, we want to provide you with a real-time updated centralised system where you can easily manage your work. Never miss an important date by setting up alerts and reminders!

Adding alerts to Date Fields:

Add a Date Field
Hover over the field
Click on the bell
Select how many days/minutes before the date in the field you want the alert to fire
Add a custom message which will appear in the notification/email to guide users on what they need to do
Click on the notification/link in the email to go to the item/experiment

Labstep team tip: If you set up an alert on a Category or Protocol field then it will be automatically set when the user enters the date on the specific resource/item/experiment.

NOTE: Once you set an alert on a template field it will only apply to new items created from the template. Existing items will not automatically have an alert.

Controlling Notifications for Alerts:

You can choose which notifications alerts and reminders to receive and how.

Navigate to the Notification Centre
Select whether to receive alerts via web/email and if for all entities in the workspace or just those you are a collaborator on.
