Tool: bell notifications
Important e-mails are sometimes overlooked by editors, and lost in the crowd. This is especially true for e-mails outside of the workflow, dealing with particular cases etc. To prevent this we have developed the notification system: Nestor tracks mails tagged as "important" and highlights them in the recipient interface.
- In the home page, editors will retrieve important mails they have received via the notifications menu:
- In each article, they will retrieve them in the message history:
Setting up notification bells
Automatic notification bells
Nestor can tag an e-mail as "important" as soon as the mail is sent. To do so, the template must be configured accordingly:

In this example:
- when the editorial office sends this message to an editor
- then the recipient editor will be notified automatically in his interface (in the message history).
Manual notifications
Regardless of the template configuration, notification bells can be set up manually on specific e-mails, when needed.
Note that an editor can see and uncheck important mails if he/she is the recipient. He cannot vizualize/uncheck notification bells on other e-mails (to other users). For example below, connected as Phil Palaeon, checking the message history of article jeos20220021. We observe notification bells appear only if I am the recipient:

- Secondly in the message history, the Editorial Office can check/uncheck any mail deemed important to the recipient:
