Using the Notifications Dashboard is a convenient way of posting notifications. For someone handling a lot of approvals or who regularly logs in, Dashboard notifications are the preferred method. It means users do not spend their time parsing e-mail messages that end up being redundant information. The Notifications Dashboard draws attention to all form instances needing attention.
Consider reserving e-mail notifications for those users who log in infrequently or for reminders and escalations.
Note: When any type of notification is sent to a stakeholder, PerfectForms™ always creates an account in the background for that person, even if they never access it by logging in and viewing the Dashboard. This account is not activated, however, and as a result has no impact on licensing.
