Each user can define the following details from the Preferences tab:

- notification method: Email/vtenext (“Notify me via” field);
- frequency of unread notifications summary emails since the latest click on the globe icon, selecting the time frame from the preset values (“Notifications summary” field);
- the topics for which you require notification (module notification Settings), selecting updates for creation and/or editing for each module.
