Legal Question in Business Law in California

What constitutes Notice of Entry of Judgment as it relates to deadlines to file Motion for New Trial & Notice of Appeal?

Does the Court's signature and filing of the Proposed Judgment which the other side & I have been wrangling over constitute such Notice? The Jury Verdict was recorded in the minute order on day of verdict over 2 weeks ago. It appears there are 15 days from Notice of Entry of Judgment to file for New Trial and 30 days from such Notice to file an Appeal. I won 3 of 4 causes of action; however, I wish to appeal 1 cause of action & have a new trial on the damages. Thank you for your timely responses so I know how to move forward. My concern here is timing & procedure.
