Understanding Notifications

No, everything on the GJ notification page will be email or private message unless you turn on either of the notifications in CB Activity > Parameters > Notifications > Notify for GJ those 2 notifications will be onsite.

1. Oh, wait, so all the notifications (middle panel shown below) are sent via email or PMS?  And the only ones where you have the option to send on-site notifications and/or email/PMS are the "Create Group" and "Join Group" options?
 

Is there a way to set these notifications by default in case group members don't know where the setting is located?

Yes, you've already been configuring those. That's the purpose of the Defaults tab when configuring those notification parameters in GJ itself.

2. Is there a way to set defaults for the notification types that do not appear in the CB GroupJive/Notifications/Defaults (looks like only two of them are available to choose from)

• New user joins (GJ/Parameters/Notifications/Defaults)
• Existing user leaves (GJ/Parameters/Notifications/Defaults)
• Create of new post
• User reply to my existing posts
• Schedule of new event
• Edit of existing event
• User attends my existing events
• User unattends my existing events
• Upload of new photo
• Publish of new video
• Upload of new file
  

This is where I'm more confused, as I thought you mentioned some of the items are managed by CB Activity and thereby only sent via onsite notifications

Ultimately, right now I am not getting any notifications (onlite or email; have not tested pms).    I apologize for asking so many follow-up questions as I try to figure this out.
