View aMessages on Files and Tasks

This article will explain how to view aMessages on files and tasks.

Updated this week

Users on Asite can view details regarding aMessages on files and tasks based on the projects and groups accessible to them.

All aMessages are listed in the aMessages tab, whether they relate to files or tasks. You can view them by selecting a user (1-1 chat) or a group (min. 2 people, including yourself) from the left panel.

  • File aMessages: Appear with the file icon. These are created when someone comments directly on a file. Every file comment is automatically sent as an aMessage.

  • Task aMessages: Appear with the task icon. These only exist in group chats (not individual chats) and are created when a task is assigned through the chat.


Navigating aMessages

  • Select a user/group from the left panel to view their aMessages on projects accessible to you. (Tip: you can use the magnifying glass icon to search for users/groups).

  • The number of unread messages will be displayed next to a user/group's name.
