7 Notifications

You can use the Notifications module to determine the status of different RPASCE activities, such as Online Administration Tasks, segment build completions or failures, segment commit completions or failures, approvals and rejections, and so on.

In this way, you can continue working on other tasks while the submitted action occurs in background. You receive a Snackbar notification at the bottom of the screen or a Toast notification at the top right of the screen when the activity status has updated for a few actions. You can open a workspace by clicking Plan Created Notification in the Notification Panel or Notification Table in the Notification Tab.

You only see notifications that are addressed to you. You can further reduce the number of notifications by:

• Search for a notification using the search box

• Filter the notifications by time period, type, or severity

• Group the notifications by type, department, or location
