"Following" a Project who watching?

[steveh3]

Getting our feet wet with Fusion Team and slowly attempting to implement. 

Question I have is how to turn the "Following" on for everyone from the start as they are added to a project.

When a person joins a Project, this icon must be toggled by each user to see comments, discussions, markups, etc. If they don't toggle this...they will be left behind. And...if anyone posts, how do they know who's following?

Can the project admin or admin have the "Following" setting to default as on? Or at least see who's following?

Also...would be nice to know who is Following this thread when you go into "Manage Project Managers".  There needs to be another column showing you who's following....

So…here’s the deal on the “Following”.

I created a project last week and added some comments and then added another dwf today. Was surprised that no one (7 collaborators) responded over that time span.

Started asking and found that no one knew they had to go directly to the Fusion Team URL and toggle the "Following" button.

Always had the same issue with Autodesk’s Beta site and it’s discussions. Always felt all conversations should be on by default and can always opt out of them.

You never know who’s talking about what and when you feel you could really offer some insight.…..it’s always too late and you missed the boat.

It’s not like I go to that site everyday. Need something to make be go to the Project...like a notification.

So…

Same feeling applies to Fusion Team too.

Want real time collaboration and when it’s off by default….it’s anything but real time.

Nothing tells them to turn on this setting and it’s not in your face….kinda greyed out.

So…basically I was talking to myself. But, that seems to happen a lot as I get older…. LOL

Until this is fixed...not sure how we can implement.

Could be tied to this wish:  https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-team-ideas/initial-comments-on-a-file-publish-comments/idi-p/8...

When the initial email/comment/invite goes out, include a  "Follow" hyperlink in the email.  Also 1st time some one enters a project have it look to see if the "Follow" is turned on, if not prompt them do you want to follow.  Could be every time you go into that project actually.  Because if your not interested in it, you didn't click follow, so odds are you won't go back into that project???
