provided to them where they can do the following :
- Say who is going to be notified when a given event occur in
here. Such as "I want the WorkspaceMembers" being notified when a
new document is created in this workspace" or "I want the
SectionReviewer being notified when a document has been published in
this section" or still "I want the posters being notified when a
reply has been done on one of their personal posts" etc...
