v3.1.0: Email notifications
This is getting out of my control, i think. [*-)]
I am having gemini administrator role.
I added myself in all the existing projects (20+) on Gemini. Under each project, there are 5+ components. Out of 20+ projects, I only interest in receiving notification when the issue is assigned to me (nothing else).
- I turned "email issue resource" to NO on "administration" page.
- I turned "email me my changes" to NO on "My Profile" page.
- I went to one of the projects and turned on the alert of receiving notification when the issue is ASSIGNED to me.
- In the same project, just for testing, i created an issue and assigned it to myself.
- I waited and waited and waited, i didn't receive any email about the new issue assigned to me.
- I went and turned on #2 to YES, repeated step 4, and I got the email notification about this new issue ASSIGNED to me.
- I tested it differently. I unchecked everything in Email Alert for that project. Left #2 ON.
- Add comment to an existing issue in that project, I received the email notification about the new comment added (I don't want to receive this notification)

Is that something will be added in the next version? It is so frustrated to get notifcations about everything including the ones you are not interested at all. For one issue, if someone changes status, make comment, change type, etc., I receive that many emails for only one issue. Imagine how many components in a project and how many issues in a components, how many changes people make a day. In a minute for only one issue I can receive up to 9 notification emails. My mailbox got flooded! [+o(] |

You should use the scheduler for email alerts as it batches emails. |

Please make sure that the settting for the scheduler are correct(config file). Check that the URL is correct, username and password are valid Gemini username and password. Also, make sure that WSE 3.0 is installed on the web server. |

On my production server I'm still using MailPlugin, i don't want to use EmailScheduler until I test it out on my staging gemini server successfully. Anyway, I've tried this on my production gemini server: |

You will receive alerts to any issue you are watching regardless of your preferences. In this case I suspect you are either the creator or the asignee. |

Did you check this in the issue watchers tab of the issue? |

Yes, i clicked on the issue, view it, click on the Issue Watcher tab and see no one is in the list. |

Only if you set "Email issue creator" to Yes. |

So, let me summarize what I understand so far, please correct me if I am wrong. :)

Also, make sure that WSE 3.0 is installed on the web server. [/quote]I have WSE3.0 installed on the web server. I have the multiple user names and passwords that I use to login to Gemini (including the database) and I assume they are all administrator accounts. I have these in countersoft.gemini.scheduler.exe.config file: <configuration> <configSections> <section name="Gemini" type="CounterSoft.Gemini.Scheduler.ServiceConfigSection, CounterSoft.Gemini.Scheduler" /> </configSections> <Gemini> <Clients> <Client WebServicesURL="http://localhost/gemini/webservices" AuthenticationUsername="admin" AuthenticationPassword="admin"> </client> </clients> </Gemini> </configuration> I read the Gemini Scheduler Guide, page 7, section 4. The first paragraph said "after installation, essential changes to the WEB.CONFIG file are required in order to correctly configure and use Gemini." What are those essential changes are? Do we have to manually add them in the WEB.CONFIG file in addition with "Additional settings can be found post Gemini login under Home -> Administration"? |

You need to make sure that you have Microsoft's WSE 3.0 installed on the web server. Also, make sure that your URL is correct, is the service installed on the web server? The username and password in the scheduler config file must be valid for a Gemini user. |

Has there been any progress made in this issue. I agree with the original poster that it is very frustrating and counter productive to receive emails when you are not interested in an issue. Currently whenever I create and assign an issue all of the developers receive an email. Ideally only the developer being assigned to the issue should receive an email. Is there any way to achieve this in the latest version? |

This is possible with any version. Simply disable all alerts (email alerts settings) and set the "email issue resource" to "yes" in the Administration -> Notifications page. |
