Additional Metadata on Notification

[peterfarrell]

User Story

As an engineer, I need additional fields on the Notification model in order to group and display notification definitions to users so that they can enable/disable the notification they wish to receive.

Engineering Todos

• Add new fields to Notification model
  • can_display, boolean, defaults to True
  • group, char, null=True, blank-True

Should this be similar to #6 where the user can swap in a custom Notification model, or add these fields to the base model?

@JosiahDub I have gone back and forth on whether we want to use a custom Notification model. In this case, I think that these are common needs for those that want to customize how notifications are shown to user when people build user enable/disable features. I am thinking that "Display Title" and "Display Description" are additional fields that are likely needed.

Do you have any thoughts or additional comments on this?

Here's a display example of groups ("Cleaning", "Frames") and the use of Display Title and Description:
