Notification preferences
Three channels — Mobile, Web, Email — with per-category and per-type control. Your inbox always keeps everything.

Everyone controls their own notifications. On the web it's account menu → Notification settings; on the phone it's Me → Settings → Notifications. Both open the same settings:
"Choose what reaches you on each channel. Your in-app inbox always keeps every notification. Mobile is the app on your phone, Web is the app in a browser, and Email is a daily summary of what you missed."
The three channels
Every row has three switches — Mobile, Web, Email — and they're fully independent: silencing your phone doesn't touch your email digest.
- All notifications — "Pause a whole channel at once." The Everything row is the master switch per channel.
- Categories — one row per area: Job assignments & shifts, Time & leave, Credentials, Defects & issues, Help & requests, Messages, Authorizations & permits, Assets & vehicles, Forms & inspections, Updates & announcements, People & approvals.
- Per-type control — open a category (tap its chevron) to reveal individual types, e.g. under Job assignments & shifts: Assigned to a job, A job you're on changed, A new shift was posted, A shift was cancelled. Each type can override its category per channel.
Priority is simple: channel pause beats a type override, which beats the category setting. Everything is on by default.
What each channel means in practice
- Mobile — push notifications on your phone. Messages, assignments and requests push immediately; the rest arrives within minutes.
- Web — browser push. Your browser will ask permission the first time; clicking a web notification opens Maliru at the right record.
- Email — one daily digest of what you haven't read, sent at 07:00 in your workspace's timezone: "While you were away — updates from your workspace that you have not read yet." No unread items, no email.
Reports
The Reports card holds the Weekly timesheet summary — "Your hours for the week, every Monday." It's email-only: your week's hours, overtime, any entries needing attention, and whether your timesheet is submitted.
Two things your settings can't silence
- The in-app inbox (the bell) keeps every notification regardless of channel settings.
- Admin alert rules deliberately ignore personal mutes — "you, the admin, decide who is told" (see Admin alert rules).
Tip: field workers who find their phone too chatty should pause specific types (e.g. A form was submitted) rather than the whole Mobile channel — shift confirmations are worth keeping.
