Viewing Notifications

Notifications alert you to system events that relate to your Avid Content Core user account. For example, users of the Review and Approval app receive a notification when the approval status of their Review and Approval task has changed (Requested, Approved, Rejected, or Canceled).

When an action generates a new notification, a message banner appears in the upper-right corner of the user interface that provides a synopsis of the notification. Each notification includes a title, message detail, and the time at which the notification was generated. For a Review and Approval notification, the message details include the task due date and stage.

You can identify the action that generated the notification by its icon.

Icon	Meaning
	Review and Approval App notifications are send in the following cases: When a review and approval task is created and assigned to a user When the stage (requested, rejected, approved, canceled) of the review and approval task has changed When a review and approval task gets assigned to a user by another user When a user gets unassigned by another user from a review and approval task

Depending on the timing of the notifications, one or more might appear on-screen simultaneously. In this case the notifications stack vertically with the most recent notification appearing at the top. Each message remains on screen for a few seconds and then disappears automatically. When the notification appears, you can either click the message banner to read it, click the X in the upper-right corner of the message to clear it, or do nothing to allow it to close on its own.

If you are working in another area of the app and you receive a notification, focus is shifted to the notification. You can press the ESC key on your keyboard to close the notification and return focus back to the previous active element. Alternatively, focus is shifted back to the original location automatically when the notification disappears naturally.

If you clear a notification (click the X button) or miss a notification, a number appears over the Notifications icon that details the number of unread messages. If you are not logged into Avid Content Core when the message is generated, the icon displays the number of notifications that you missed while you were away. The counter clears itself after you access the notification.

You can access missed notifications in the Notifications app.

You can customize the types of notifications that are to appear. If you don’t want to receive notifications, you can disable them by feature, or application. For more information, see Configuring Notifications.
