Upgrade Season means a few things: Reading release notes, reviewing skipped records, and my inbox being cluttered with "VTB" Notifications
What is it?
It's an OOB (out-of-box) notification on the Board Member (vtb_board_member) table, that fires on insert of any record. Since a new visual task board is created for each upgrade [Skipped Records visual task board (VTB)], all admins will receive a notification for every upgrade, patches or hotfix.
Is it that annoying?
No, not really. It's pretty easy to delete an email a few times year. BUT it's been a lot of years (almost 7), and multiply that by a dozen clients, and it ends up being a lot of junk in my inbox (see screenshot).
How to turn it off
Here is the notification itself: /sysevent_email_action.do?sys_id=81e12044b7332300bf6b68a9ee11a91d
You can
- Turn it off (active = false) or
- Add a condition to turn it off for certain boards ex: board.nameNOT LIKEPatch
