In the top right corner of Pingboard, users will see a Notifications icon in the shape of a bell.

Select the bell to view new notifications on Planning Charts you have access to. If no new notifications are available, Pingboard lets you know that you're all caught up. Choose Show Previous to reveal older notifications in chronological order.

Each comment has a heading that lists which Planning Org Chart it is from and the Role it relates to on that chart. Choose any comment to open the Org Chart and Role the comment relates to.

Receiving Email Notifications for Comments

When a comment is left on one of your Org Charts, you'll receive an email notification from Pingboard. Selecting View in Pingboard or the Role Title on any comment in a notification email will bring you to the Org Chart and highlight the Role that the comment was left on.

You can customize your notification preferences on your Preferences page. By default, you'll receive notifications for comments on Roles you've previously commented on and specific @ mentions of your name, but you can also choose to receive an email for all comments on your org charts.

If you'd prefer not to receive email notifications for comments, turn them off on your Preferences page.

Deleting Comments

Comments can be deleted a few different ways:

  1. Use the Edit or Delete buttons under your comments to make changes or remove them at any time.
  2. When a Planning org chart is promoted to Live, all comments are removed.
  3. Deleting a Role from a Planning Org Chart will delete the comments attached to that role.
