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 (see 3.4.2)
• daily report emails a report containing an activity journal of the previous day
• direct email notification notifies the user about changes immediately
• Monitor applet supports immediate notification via a separate Java Applet (see 5.2)
