PA Notification when process is assigned to a user

Hi

So, I´m learning this Process Author thingy Really neat. One question I have, when Process Author assignes a process to a user (for example, a user gets a form he/she needs to approve or reject), PA does not seem to notify that user (no email nor in Notifications). Is my understanding right?

I know that we have these Dashlets, like this one:

But that requires the approver to keep on monitoring this dashlet.

Just asking

Thanks all,

KGM
