Notification Scope: Customizable notifications

@Sam Im (Deactivated)

Still looking for feedback so please update the wiki page with any questions or comments.

Consolidated Notifications:

• Gaurav: What frequency?

  • Sam: Discussing configurability of the frequency

  • Configurable time (once a day by x time)

• Gaurav: Will notifications support categorization?

  • Sam: Urgent notifications will be supported

  • Wes: True categorization will likely not be support for the initial release

• Chifundo: Could also call this a "Digest", user-customization would be helpful

Configurability:

• Gaurav: Can notifications be resent if some action has not been taken?

  • Chifundo: related to time-sensitive notifications

  • Wes: This seems to veer into task-management/workflow and I think this would be better handled as a separate feature

• Brian: How many SMS notifications are expected?

  • Limits of 1,000 and 5,000 may require specific agreements

  • Wes: If we are sending that many SMS notifications we may be doing something wrong

Admin Customization:

• Gaurav: Would it be more efficient to support a more digest-like notification rather than a facility-specific notification?

  • Sam: Yes, and the text would be configurable by channel as well (Email could be longer than SMS)

• Craig: Ona uses RapidPro for the notification workflow

NFR Performance Update

NFR page: Non-Functional Requirements - performance

@Wesley Brown (5 min)

Team Parrot will be working on performance as one of their main features for 3.6 and this will result in updates to our performance goals as well as more performance data.

Next PC meeting: I will be out of town, does anyone want to lead while I am out?
