Notifications

Stay informed about approvals, updates, and actions that need your attention.

Overview

Notifications keep you informed of events that relate to you — such as a time-off request to approve, a timesheet submission, or a status change on something you submitted.

You can access notifications in two ways:

  • Bell icon in the top bar — a quick popover for immediate triage
  • Notifications page — a full list for reviewing and managing all notifications

Bell popover

Click the bell icon in the top bar to open the notification popover. The badge count shows how many unread notifications and pending actions you have.

The popover groups notifications into:

  • Pending actions — items that need your response (approve, review, etc.)
  • Unread messages — informational notifications you haven’t read yet

From the popover, you can:

  • Open details — click a notification to see the full message and available actions
  • Dismiss — remove a notification you’ve read
  • Quick approve — for time-off approval requests, approve directly from the notification without leaving the page

Notifications page

For a fuller view, navigate to Notifications by clicking View all in the popover or from the sidebar.

The page has two tabs:

Actions available on the page:

  • Mark as read — mark individual notifications as read
  • Dismiss — remove a notification from the list
  • View details — open the full notification dialog with context and actions
  • Quick approve — approve time-off requests directly from the notification

Email notifications

Notifications are also sent by email in the language set in the recipient’s preferences. Email notifications follow the same rules as in-app notifications — you receive an email for every event that generates an in-app notification.
