Notifications

System notifications can be transmitted via in-app messaging from InEight Platform for assigned projects. These notification messages are a means to communicate information to users about certain system activities. Message content can range from a notification informing you of a failed import process, to notification about a planned system outage.

The Notification icon is on the right side of the top navigation bar. The number of unread notifications is indicated by the number shown in red, on the Notifications icon.

To configure and send notifications requires the user to have an account admin role.
