BSCW allows you to specify in detail how you want to be informed about events in your workspaces. This may be specified on a per object basis, but for the general case a default configuration is set.

Depending on the configuration of your BSCW server, several event notification services are available:

• event icons
indicates recent events on the user interface level (cf. section 3.5.2)
• daily report
emails a report containing an activity journal of the previous day
• direct email notification
notifies the user about important changes, immediately
• Monitor applet
supports immediate notification via a separate Java Applet (cf. section 5.3)
