In this article, you'll learn about the notification center and how to fully customize which notifications you'll get and choose which channels you'll receive the system notifications on.
Introduction
The notification center is designed to help you stay up to date on important events and notifications within the app so that you can manage your business more efficiently.
It's your central location for all system notifications. The notification center allows you to quickly and easily stay up to date on important events and tasks within the app. For example, getting notifications when invoices are due or on an appointment request waiting for approval.
A significant advantage of the notification center is that it allows you to receive notifications even when you're not actively using the app. This means you can continue working on other tasks or activities and be alerted when something important happens within the app. This can help you stay focused and productive while still being able to manage your business effectively.
Getting started with the notification center
To access the notification center, look for the bell icon in the top right of the screen. Clicking on this icon will open the notification center, where you can see a list of all your recent notifications from the last 30 days.
The notifications are organized chronologically, with the most recent notifications at the top of the list. You can click on any individual notification to see more details and take the necessary actions.
Every time you get a new notification, a badge appears above the notification bell icon, indicating the number of new notifications.
In the top section of the notification center, you'll be able to:
- Mark all as read - Remove unread indicators from all notifications
- Show Only Unread- filter your notification to show only unread notifications
- Open the notification settings - to customize which notifications you'll get and on which channel
