# Notification and Activity System Implementation Summary
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Successfully implemented a comprehensive notification and activity tracking system for the VFX Project Management application. The system provides real-time notifications for task updates, submission reviews, and project activities, along with a detailed activity timeline for tracking all user actions.
|
|
|
|
## Task 16.1: Notification System
|
|
|
|
### Backend Implementation
|
|
|
|
#### Database Models
|
|
- **Notification Model** (`backend/models/notification.py`)
|
|
- Stores in-app notifications with type, priority, title, and message
|
|
- Links to related entities (project, task, submission)
|
|
- Tracks read status and email delivery
|
|
- Supports multiple notification types: task_assigned, task_status_changed, submission_reviewed, work_submitted, deadline_approaching, project_update, comment_added
|
|
|
|
- **UserNotificationPreference Model** (`backend/models/notification.py`)
|
|
- Granular control over email and in-app notifications
|
|
- Per-notification-type preferences
|
|
- Email digest settings (daily/weekly)
|
|
- Default preferences created automatically for new users
|
|
|
|
#### API Endpoints (`backend/routers/notifications.py`)

|
|
2. **WebSocket Support**: Replace polling with real-time WebSocket updates
|
|
3. **Push Notifications**: Add browser push notification support
|
|
4. **Activity Logging**: Add activity logging calls throughout existing endpoints

3. **WebSocket Support**: Replace polling with WebSocket for real-time updates
|
|
4. **Notification Rules**: Add more sophisticated notification rules (e.g., deadline warnings)
|
|
5. **Activity Aggregation**: Implement activity aggregation for digest emails
|
|
6. **Performance Optimization**: Add caching for frequently accessed activities
|
|
7. **User Testing**: Conduct user testing to refine notification preferences and activity display
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- The notification system is fully functional but email sending is not yet implemented (placeholder exists)
|
|
- Activity logging needs to be integrated into existing endpoints to populate the activity feed
|
|
- The system uses polling for real-time updates; WebSocket implementation would improve performance
|
|
- All database migrations have been successfully applied
|
|
- UI components follow the existing shadcn-vue design system
