# Personal Notification Schemes

Bug Watcher allows you to **overrule** the notification schemes associated with your JIRA projects. You can now specify on **which** **events** of your interest you want to get notification emails.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example Use Case 1**

Your project administrator configured the notification scheme of a JIRA project in a way that you as a watcher receive notifications for events **Issue Created**, **Updated**, **Commented** only.

**In addition** to this, you want to get emails on Issue **Resolved** and Issue **Closed** as well.

Instead of asking your project admin to add these two events to the notification scheme, you can set up your **personal** project notification scheme via the Watches project tab.

As a result, you will get notification on Issue Created, Updated, Commented, **Resolved** and **Closed** of the issues of the project.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example Use Case 2**

As a **project administrator** you want to allow your users to set their **personal notification rules** in your project.

Instead of tweaking the project notification scheme to match the whole set of different needs of you users, you:

* configure a **minimal Notification Scheme** for the project only
* tell your **users** to **start watching the project** or to **create a filter** specifying the issues they are interested in and to start watching the filter
* tell you users to **configure their own personal notification rules** (ie events) in their Watches project tab

As a result, all users will be happy to have **more control** on the issues and events for which they get notifications.
