Use Notifications to read notifications recorded for the current project and manage their read status. The messages are currently used primarily by the NAPA Designer integration, for example to record information about data exchange between the applications.
Open Notifications: Click the notification field at the bottom of the main window, immediately after the integration status field (Status: offline/online). When unread notifications exist, it shows a gold bell and New notification. When none are unread, the notification field is blank but remains clickable; click that blank area to open the window and inspect earlier messages under Archive.
Choose a notification list
New: Show notifications that do not have a recorded read time. Unread notifications are displayed in bold.
Archive: Show notifications with a recorded read time. Archive is a view of read notifications; moving a notification here does not delete it.
The list is scoped to the current project. The To column records the recipient information; it does not limit the list to notifications addressed to the signed-in user.
Read the list and message
Time: Date and time when the notification was created.
Category: Classification recorded for the notification.
To / From: Recipient and sender information recorded with the message.
Message: The notification text. Select a row to show its full message in the read-only area below the list.
Read: Recorded date and time when the notification was marked read. A blank value means unread.
When you leave a selected row, the window records a read time for that notification. Use the right-click commands if you want to set its status explicitly. Switch tabs to see the updated New or Archive list.
Right-click commands
Mark as Read: Set a read time for the selected notifications. They belong in Archive when the list is refreshed.
Mark as Unread: Clear the read time for the selected notifications. They belong in New when the list is refreshed.
Copy: Copy the selected notification rows, including the column headings, to the clipboard.
Read-status changes are stored for the project notification record; they are not a private read/unread flag for each user. Closing the window does not undo changes already recorded.
Print or close
Print: Open a print preview of the selected notification rows. Select the rows you need before printing.
Close: Close the window. The main window then checks its notification indicator again.
Help: Open this topic. F1 opens the same page.
If no notifications appear, check the active project and both tabs. The window displays existing notifications; it does not provide a command to compose or send a new message.
