Push notifications

If you are using Chrome or Mozilla Firefox as your web browser, you can enjoy the convenience of push notifications. 

Push notification is a feature that uses your browser (currently, only Chrome and Mozilla Firefox) to pop up a message as unobtrusively as possible in a corner of your screen allowing you to take action or simply informing you about an event. This is widely used on mobile devices, letting you know when an email  message arrives, an update is ready to be installed, etc.

To enable push notifications:

1. Log in to Easy Projects. If you are logged in already, skip this step.
2. Click My Options on the User Menu. This will open the My Options screen.
3. Under User options, check or uncheck boxes as required.
