System Notifications

System notifications inform Workstation users of changes made to collections or event notifications.

It is possible to view these notifications in greater detail, and customize which system notifications trigger.

Viewing System Notifications​

In the top right side of any Workstation workspace, click the bell icon to view the system notifications drawer.

A small red circle contains the current count of system notifications available.

System notifications display as cards. Cards contain:

  • Why the system notification was issued.
  • A brief description of the notification.
  • A timestamp of the notification's occurrence.

At the right of any notification, click X to dismiss it.

At the top right side of the system notification drawer, click the DISMISS button to dismiss all notifications at once.

At the top left of the system notifications drawer, click DISMISSED to view dismissed notifications.

note

A paginated list of dismissed notifications stored is available in the DISMISSED tab. Dismissed system notifications, as well as Active notifications are automatically removed after 30 days of dismissal date or creation date, respectively.

Once triggered, drag any system notification onto object details viewer to view more details about it.
