System Notifications

The Notifications page allows Tenant Admins with the correct permissions to create, view, and edit notifications that can be delivered to users throughout the tenant. These notifications are displayed at the top of the tenant until they are deleted.

Notifications are displayed in one of three groups:

• Active Notifications - Notifications that are currently between the selected Start Date and End Date.
• Scheduled Notifications - Notifications that have not yet reached the selected Start Date.
• Expired Notifications - Notifications that have passed their selected End Date.

Each system notification is displayed with the following information:

• Start - The date and time the notification began displaying.
• End - The date and time the notification ceased displaying.
• Author - The user who created the notification.
• Icon - The icon selected to be displayed in the notification.
• Message - The message displayed in the notification.
• Groups - The user groups the notification is sent to.
• Actions
  • Edit - Update the notification.
  • Delete - Remove the notification.
