Trying to find an onomatopoeic word for a siren, is a bit tricky (as you will see from our efforts above!). Warning<\/em> – Warning<\/em>! you have an extra day in February this year. Just in case you’d not realised the divisible by 4 but not 100, unless 400, means 2020 will have 29 days this February.\u00a0 Now that you have been Alert<\/span>ed to that fact, we can use this as the most convoluted (so far this year) seg-way to\u00a0 remind you about Cradle’s Alert<\/strong> feature.<\/p>\n

\"Unread
Alerts Dialog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are no bells, whistles or sirens, and the most likely way you’ll know you have one is a reminder when you log into WorkBench. The tool bar across the top will show the number of new alerts<\/strong> you have. Alerts<\/strong> can be raised for all manner of things, from the Project Schema<\/em> changing, to a new item being created or items being linked to items you own. You can see, read, clear them from the Alerts<\/strong> dialog. You can even send new ones directly to other users, “Gwendolyn – have you finished that review yet please?”<\/samp>. You can have Cradle create email alerts<\/a>,\u00a0 sent directly to a user’s in-box.\u00a0 In summary, they are a useful tool to keep you up to speed with what’s going on in Cradle. More in depth information can be found in this post<\/a>, or in the help<\/a>. There are also a setting to control their accumulation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We noted that the most basic element is starting to attract a lot of interest, with @Alstom<\/a>‘s tweet.<\/p>\n

We mourned the loss of #Windows7<\/a>, and wondered whether users would turn to\u00a0 Windows 10 or Linux<\/a><\/p>\n

And Finally<\/h3>\n

February the 27th marks World NGO Day<\/a> a chance to remember that not everything is run by governments, or businesses, that charities, organisations and collaborative groups are equally important in a harmonious world. So have a think how you can support an NGO of your choice, let others know too #WorldNGODay<\/a>. To those that are keeping the wheels of society silently ticking – we salute you.<\/p>\n
