The notifications panel on the Homepage provides a comprehensive view of all notifications you have received. For increased productivity, they are segregated into tabs such as Primary, Portfolio, Assignments, and Announcements. The numbers against these tabs represent the count of unread notifications in each category.

Each notification includes an icon indicating its source (e.g., Unit plan) and a brief description of the activity. The date of the notification is also displayed, helping you track recent and older notifications. You can click on any notification to go to the exact part of the platform where that notification was triggered.

Click on the ‘Mark all as read’ icon to mark all notifications as read. Additionally, the ‘Show only unread’ icon allows you to filter out the notifications that are unread. This is particularly useful for managing large volumes of notifications efficiently.

Lastly, you can customize your notification preferences using the gear icon, which we will explore in detail in the next section.

On the ‘Notification preferences’ page, you can view the various events that trigger notifications with its default settings. For each event, you can change the default preference and use checkboxes to decide whether or not to receive notifications.

Additionally, you can specify your preference for receiving notifications in-app, via email, or as push notifications on mobile. For class-related notifications, you have an option to enable them for selected classes. The changes you make here will be applied with immediate effect.

Note that your administrator can choose to disable notifications for specific triggers. In such cases, you will not receive notifications for those triggers and will see an alert icon on the web, as shown below. This setting cannot be overridden by you. If the admins have enabled notifications for a particular trigger, only then you can choose to enable or disable them according to your preference.
