Limiting E-Mail Notifications
Here is how you can limit the number of e-mails you receive from the system:
- Chose "Settings" from the upper right menu
- Chose "Email" in the left-hand menu and deactivate all the checkboxes, or only activate "Subscribe to daily updates".
Creating and Editing Pages
Pages are subordinate to spaces. Pages can also act as categories. You can also create sub-pages that inherit properties and set access rights for individual pages and subpages.
Pages can then be suitable for workgroups or projects. For example:
- Space: Informatics (access for all lecturers and employees)
- Page: Project XY (Access only for project members who are also lecturers or employees)

It should be avoided that page entries are created twice. Before you create a new page, use the search function to check whether the entry already exists.
