The feature related to configuration in this section is the Email/On-site notification. Here are some aspects of the feature:
Users can receive daily/weekly emails that sum up the activities they are interested in.
This is performed in the background by jobs called NotificationDailyJob and NotificationWeeklyJob.
In the Web UI, the notifications pop up immediately when an activity happens. And there is a page called "View All" where users can see all the recent notifications.
In the background, a job called WebNotificationJob takes care to remove notifications that are older than a configurable live time.
Here under is the list of related properties that you can configure via exo.properties file.
exo.notification.NotificationDailyJob.expression
