Notifications: activate/setup initial config

[sleidig]

To generate Notifications, a user needs a "NotificationConfig" entity with the individual settings. The system has to create this initially, if not already present. Also, the system should already provide some commonly needed default Notification Rules to help users, especially if a person has no special needs and little technical knowledge.

Default Rules to be automatically created ("Notify me when ..."):

• "a new Child is registered" -> any new "Child" entity
• "a Task is assigned to me" -> any new/updated "Task" entity if "Assigned to" === CurrentUserSubject.value.getId()
• "a Note involving me is updated" -> any new/updated "Note" entity if "Team involved" includes CurrentUserSubject.value AND updated.by is not CurrentUserSubject.value.getId()

Implementation to create initial NotificationConfig entity:

• Option A: in notification window (from toolbar) initially display "Notifications disabled. [Set up now]" -> Navigate to Settings Page -> Create and save default NotificationConfig by Settings page, if not found
• Option B: after initial sync, check if present and otherwise create

I would tend towards Option A for the process of creating the initial config but am not completely sure. What do you think, @tomwwinter , @george-neha , @Ayush8923 ?

I also vote for option A. However, I have one question, do we need to add the Set up now option inside the notification list, or should we create a different icon for this? If notifications are disabled for the application?

I would replace the icon + "you have no notifications" (maybe actually also hiding the tabs all/unread) with a different text + button "Set up now".

I prefer Option A because it's functional and provides a clear path for setup. But what if we enable some default notifications and then nudge the user to tweak them according to their requirement?
