Viewing notifications

The Notifications menu provides access to a window in which you can read and manage your system notifications.

Before you begin

For system notifications to show on the Notifications window, the administrator must create a rule that is based on each notification message type and select the Notify check box in the Custom Rules Wizard.

About this task

The Messages menu indicates how many unread system notifications you have in your system. This indicator increments the number until you close system notifications. For each system notification, the Messages window provides a summary and the date stamp for when the system notification was created. You can hover over a notification to view more details. You can use the functions on the Messages window to manage the system notifications.

System notifications are also available on the Dashboard tab and on an optional pop-up window. Actions that you perform in the Messages window are propagated to the Dashboard tab and the pop-up window. For example, if you close a system notification from the Messages window, the system notification is removed from all system notification displays.
