Getting notifications from other projects

Question

1. I am observing that while fetching notifications for project A for confluence or Jira, I am getting also notifications from different projects (i.e. project B & C etc), this is really annoying because I always manage my single project work at a time.

2. I can't see a clear notification option anymore.

Are these new features? If yes, is there any way to switch off it?

Please help.

Hello!

I have exactly the same problem and I don't know how to only get notifications for a single project.

Could you explain to me how to do it, I am an administrator.

Thank you

Hello @Vishal Zanzrukia,

Why I need someone else's permission about how I want to see my notifications?

In Jira, you can manage your notifications by going to Profile picture > Personal settings. You can disable all notifications, but the notification scheme will override this option. When the project administrator adds a group that you are part of on the notification scheme to receive, for example, notification when a new ticket is created, you will receive notifications despite you have disabled them on your profile.

How it was working very well till some days before?

Maybe the administrator updated the notification scheme or the site administrator added you to a new group.

My point is not just about Jira, it's both Jira and confluence notifications across projects are mixing, it's much productivity impact.

I can see that you are a user on five different sites, so you need to configure your preferences on each one.

For Confluence, you can go to Profile picture > Settings > Email to disable the notifications and then on the tab “Watches” and click “Stop Watching” on pages that you don’t want to receive notifications anymore.

Also, why can't see "Mark as Read" and "Clear" two different options anymore, it was too good to manage my todo from notifications itself. When I read notification, I may still have pending action on it, so I clear it when my pending action is done too.

If it’s related to the bell icon, the options are there. You can mark the notifications as read the the “Clear” would be the “Only show unread”.

@Angélica Luz thank you so much for your reply but not able to understand below things,

I don't see an improvement at all with these recent changes, not sure what was the motive behind it.

Awaiting your reply. Hope you understand.
