Working with Notification Messages

Use the Message Center to view notification messages that you've received.

To work with notification messages:

1. Select the Notification List tab.

   The tab displays the number of unread messages in a red circle.

2. Select All to view all notification messages or Unread to view only unread messages.

3. Use the Search field to look for specific messages. The search runs over values in the Heading, Subject, Subscription Name, Category, Message, and Notification Date fields.

4. Use the Sorted By: drop-down menu to sort by category, heading, notification date, role, subject, or subscription.

5. Use the icon to switch between ascending and descending sort order.

6. Select the Show in Groups check box to group the messages by the sort criteria.

7. When messages are shown in groups, you can expand and collapse the groups using the icon.

   The group header shows how many messages are in each group and has a delete icon that enables you to delete all of the messages in the group at once.

8. Use the icon to collapse all of the groups that are open.

9. The bar at the bottom of the messages shows you a total count of notification messages, as well as how many messages are displayed if that number is different.

10. Use the Refresh icon on the left side of the bottom bar to retrieve any new notifications you may have received while in the Message Center.

11. To view message details, click on the message and the details appear in the reading pane on the right side of the screen. There is no reading pane when the application is embedded in an EnterpriseOne page.

    Notice that the message also changes from unread to read and the number of unread messages in both the Notifications List tab and Notifications List on the EnterpriseOne toolbar decrease.

12. You can use application links or delete individual notification messages by using the icons that appear when you hover over or select a message in the list.

    Starting with Release 9.2.3.2, a message can have multiple actions (such as application links) associated with it. If the notification message has more than one action, an Actions drop-down list is available when you hover over or select that message in the list. You can then select the action from the drop-down list. If there is just one action for the message, you will see a text link for that one action instead of the Actions drop-down list.

    With Release 9.2.3.3, the Actions drop-down list may contain, not only links to applications, but also links to notifications, orchestrations, URLs, EnterpriseOne reports, or BI Publisher reports, if the notification designer has included them in the message. Links to reports will take you to that report in the Work with Submitted Jobs application.

13. Use the Additional Information icon, in the upper right corner, to view the following details about a notification message:
