Some personal options control how often you are alerted about new items using
System Tray notification. In the clients, notification icons appear on the
Status Bar.
While you are running the application, you can check for changes in items that may affect you. This feature does not apply
to files and audit entries. The application notifies you when:
- A change request, requirement, or task becomes your responsibility or a topic names you as a recipient. If a topic has no
recipients listed, no one receives notification.
- A requirement or task that is your responsibility or a topic for which you are a recipient has changed.
Note: The defect, requirement, task, or topic icon display at the right end of the
Status Bar.
To enable System Tray notification
- Choose
to open the
Personal Options dialog box.
- Select the
Change Request,
Requirement,
Topic, or
Task tab.
Note: If you have
StarTeam Agile installed and configured to point to an existing
StarTeam Server, you will also see
Sprint and
Story tabs.
- Check
Check for New or Modified [item] in the
System Tray Notifications group box.
- Type the number of minutes for the time interval between checks for items that need your attention. The default is 10.
The dialog box displays the icon that will appear in the
System Tray for that particular item.
- Click
OK.
To open a System Tray notification item
- Double-click the defect, requirement, task, or topic notification icon in the
System Tray to open the
[Project] New [Item Type] dialog box which lists the items that need your attention.
- Double-click the item to display its properties.
You might want to take notes while displaying the item properties because as soon as you close the dialog box the item disappears.
Note: If your administrator has enabled email notification, you will automatically receive email messages notifying you about change
requests for which you are responsible, about changes in any requirements and tasks for which you are responsible, and about
changes in any topics for which you are a recipient. Email notification is client independent and you do not need to run the
application to receive notifications. You can, however, use the
System Tray notification with or without email notification.
