In-app notifications

The Notification Center is where the work that involves you comes to find you. Instead of watching every record across every module, you get a single, current feed of the catalog events that involve you.

Activity from across the platform

Notifications come from a defined catalog of event types, in seven categories:

• Approvals — an approval is waiting for you, or something you submitted was approved or rejected; also report and document template reviews
• Mentions — someone tagged you in an item, diagram, or review comment
• Reviews — you were assigned or added to a review, a review was completed, finalized, cancelled, or reopened, a review is due soon or overdue, or a review was delegated to you
• Compliance — a compliance issue was assigned, changed, commented on, or is overdue; vendor support access was used
• Locks — someone overrode your lock or asked you to release a diagram lock
• Reports — a report export you started is ready or failed
• Training — a training record of yours has expired (overdue, or past its recertification period)

Events outside this catalog — for example ordinary edits to an item you own, or a link going suspect — do not generate notifications.

Read and unread

Each notification carries a read or unread state, so the center works like an inbox: new items stand out, and you clear them as you deal with them. You can mark items read individually or all at once, and remove read items to keep the list focused on what’s still outstanding.

Finding what matters

For a busy program the feed can be substantial, so you can filter it — by source, by date, or by searching — and page through it rather than scrolling endlessly. Want just the reviews waiting on you, or just today’s activity? Filter to it. Bulk actions let you select a page and act on several notifications together.

A signal, not noise

The Notification Center exists to keep you informed without forcing you to monitor everything manually. It tells you what changed and where, so you can jump straight to the record that needs you. How much of this also reaches you by email, and how to tune what you receive, is covered next in Email & preferences.
