Notification indicator for new messages in project requests conversation icon

Add a notification indicator (e.g., badge or dot) on the conversation icon within the match Requests list to show when there are new or unread project-specific messages.
This would allow Experience Managers to quickly identify active conversations without opening each request/going through the inbox. It would be particularly helpful when sourcing projects for large programs, where many match requests are in progress and timely responses from employers are critical.

Stephen Tredger We actually used to show the count of total messages or the count of unread messages by the current user on the request table (see https://riipen.atlassian.net/browse/OR-3516 as the reference I can find for this), but we currently are not. Can you recall if this was intentionally removed (maybe a load time issue), or if it may be unintentional/a bug that it doesn't currently display?
Fola Balogun Just FYI if we are able to return the messages count, the only way this could work would be to show you the unread message count only if they are unread by the user viewing the request list, and only if that user is a member of the conversation.

Emily Masching Hi Emily! Thanks for following up. That is fine! As long as we can see the unread messages on the project requests page, we will be able to communicate more effectively for large programs. We typically use our program emails as admins, so by default, we typically are members of all conversations.
