Reviewing Notifications

Managers use notifications to communicate information to their direct reports and to others in the organization. If your application administrator provides you with the proper authority, then you can customize the behavior of notifications in your user preferences. For more information, see Notifications Setup.

You access notifications by clicking the Notification button on the application toolbar.

To review notification messages in the application

  1. Click Notification (the exclamation mark icon) on the application toolbar.

    The notification pane opens where:

    • The messages that you have not read appear at the start of the Notification Summary list.

    • The messages that you have already read appear in the Previously Read section.

    • The message severity or level of importance attached to a message is illustrated by the color of the message, as described in Notification Levels of Importance.

      All notification messages are read-only.

  2. Click a message to open and review the details of the message.

    • Click any attachment that is part of a message to open and view the attachment.

    • Click any hyperlink that is part of a message to navigate to the associated view.

    • Click the message again to close it after you have read it.

      • The message moves to the Previously Read section in the notification pane.

      • The counter beside the Notification button on the application toolbar decreases accordingly.

    • Tap Delete (the X icon) to delete a message after you read it.

      After you delete a message, the message disappears from the notification pane.

  3. Click Mark as Read to clear all unread messages and mark them as read.
