Purpose:
In the Sections view, when users select sections and open Manage Due Dates, there is a Notification toggle that allows sending updates to Authors, Reviewers, and Guests. Currently, this toggle must be manually enabled each time to send notifications.
To improve efficiency and ensure consistent communication, the proposal is to have this notification toggle enabled by default, so users don’t have to manually activate it every time they update or assign due dates.
Proposed Enhancement:
Automatically enable the “Notify Authors, Reviewers, and Guests” toggle in the Manage Due Dates dialog by default. Users would still have the flexibility to disable it when they prefer not to send notifications.
Intended Behavior (Current Implementation):
As per the existing functionality, this toggle must be manually turned on to send notifications on demand to Authors, Reviewers, and Guests. It is currently set to off by default.
Expected Outcome:
- Streamline the due date management process by eliminating repetitive manual steps.
- Ensure that all relevant stakeholders are consistently notified of due date changes.
- Improve accountability and task visibility among Authors, Reviewers, and Guests.
- Maintain user flexibility by allowing the toggle to be turned off when needed.
