Configure User Interface notifications

You can configure the appliance to display notifications in the Administrator Console when certain types of manual tasks are performed.

Administrators can configure the notification groups and users for which notifications are generated. A notification bell icon is located in the top-right corner of the screen. When new notifications are available, an orange indicator appears.

User Interface notifications are enabled for administrative accounts by default, all other users must subscribe to them if they want to make the notifications visible. Use the bell icon to show or hide the Notifications pane on the right. Each notification has a time stamp. You can delete individual notifications by clicking the Delete icon in the top-right corner of each entry in the list. To clear the list of notifications, click Dismiss All.

1.	On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click Notifications.

2.	On the Notifications page, click UI Notifications.

3.

If you want to delete all notifications after a certain time period, click Auto Delete Notifications After, and select the desired number of days. The default setting is Never, which preserves all notifications, and is a good option for administrators. For users that do not log in as often, you can choose to delete them after a certain period. Choose from the existing options, or select Custom and type the applicable number of days.
