Sending release or activity notifications

When a release request moves into a new Milestone and Status, for example, Deployment In Progress, Release Management generates notifications. Based on your assignee group or role (release coordinator or requester), you might receive notifications during various status transitions.

Release notifications are data-driven and easily configured. The following notifications are enabled out of the box. Your administrator might have created additional notification rules.

Milestones and statuses when notifications are sent

Milestone	Status	Release Coordinator	Assignee Group	Requester
Initiate	Draft	Yes	No	Yes
Deployment	Deployment Approval	Yes	No	Yes
Deployment	In Progress	Yes	Yes	Yes
Deployment	Cancelled	Yes	Yes	Yes

Activities work the same way, except that no out-of-the-box notifications are enabled. Your administrator can easily configure a rule in which, for example, the activity assignee is notified when the Status of the activity is set to Draft.
