The Notifications window

Stay up to date with your Items' updates and alerts.

Your Item notifications — alerts about Items that need your attention based on your Role, your affiliation with the Item, and your opt-in notification preferences — can all be found on the Notifications window.

The Notifications window

To open your Notifications window, click the bell icon in your navigation bar.

• Each Item for which you have a notification will be listed on the Notifications window. If an Item has multiple notifications, they will all be listed together.
• Unread notifications are indicated with a blue dot to their right. Click the blue dot to mark that notification as read.
  
  • To mark a notification as unread, hover over it so that it's highlighted in blue, then click the gray dot.
• To the left of each notification is an icon indicating the type of notification.
  • Notifications marked with a blue dot are updates made to that Item since you last viewed it.
  • Notifications marked with a comment icon are about new or updated comments.
  • Notifications marked with a bell are notifications you've received due to your (or your Role's) notification preferences.
  • Notifications marked with a flag are notifications you've received due to your association with the Item.
• Click any of the listed Items to open it and take a closer look.
  
  • If the Item is nested under a parent, the parent's name will appear under the Item's own. Click the parent's name to open it.
• Right-click any of the listed Items, then, in the resulting drop-down menu:
  
  • Click Open in a new tab to open that Item in a new browser tab, or
  • Click Copy Link to copy a direct link to that Item.
• Click Mark all as read near the bottom of the Notifications window to quickly mark all of your notifications as read.
• To delete all your notifications, click Clear and the Clear window will open.
  
  • By default, only notifications marked with a blue dot, a comment icon, or a bell will be cleared. To also clear notifications marked with a flag, check the Also, clear all flags checkbox.
  • Click Clear.

You can also:

• Update an Item from the Notifications window
• Flip the order of your notifications
• Update your notifications preferences
• Expand your Notifications window

Updating an Item from the Notifications window

There are several actions you can take directly from the Notifications window. To do so, hover over the Item with which you want to work so that it's highlighted in blue, then:

• Click the thumbs-up icon to like the Item or the check-mark icon to acknowledge it. The icon will be filled in to indicate that you've liked or acknowledged the Item.
• Click the Comment icon to open the Item's Comments window. From there, you can enter a new comment.
• Click the Copy Link icon to copy the Item's direct link to your clipboard.

• Click the Snooze Notifications icon to open the Snooze Notifications window. From there, you can opt out of receiving updates about that Item.

• Click the x icon to clear that Item's flags. The Item will disappear from your Notifications window, all your Notifications will disappear from the Item itself, and a confirmation message will appear.

Flip the order of your notifications

By default, your notifications will be ordered from newest to oldest. You can reverse this so that your oldest notifications appear first.

To do so, click the sort icon at the bottom of the Notifications window.
