About the Workstation Notification Center

Last Updated April 4, 2022

Brief Overview

The Notification Center lets you create a list of Notifications (ShoutOuts) to be displayed for your users.

  • Notifications will be displayed as a priority on screen, this means that it will not be overlapped by other applications open on the Desktop, but will be displayed on the topmost layer
  • Notifications can be segmented per user type, department, etc.
  • Notifications can also contain action buttons such as read confirmation and start a Smart Walk-Thru
  • Activation rules can set the Notification to repeat periodically until a certain action is performed
Please note:

  • Notifications won't appear in preview mode
  • When adding images make sure that the resolution does not exceed 1920X1280

The active Notification list appears in the Desktop Widget in a separate tab from your other Walk-Thrus, Resources, and Shuttles.

Access it by clicking on the bell icon in the top right-hand corner:-
