To the right of the ? icon is a bell icon, which can be used to open a notifications and requests tab. It also appears with the number of unread notifications.
The Notifications section of the tab will notify you of the following:
- Entries or comments that have been assigned to you by other users;
- The comments made on entries you have tagged or comments assigned to you;
- The modification of the comments that were assigned to you;
- The replies on your own comments;
- The requests to join projects and acceptance or refusal of these requests.
When the notifications deal with comments, you can click on the Comment option below the notification and you will be able to read the comment directly.
Regarding requests to join a project you are administering, a Reason option will appear below the notification and you will also be able to read the reason by clicking on it.
In the My assignments section of the Home page, clicking on the entry or on the project in the notifications will lead you to the relevant page.
An option is available on the top right hand side of the window: Hide seen notifications. By ticking this box, you will see the notifications that you have not validated so far.
To validate notifications, click on the icon on the right of the notification. It will then no longer appear in your notifications under the Hide seen notifications mode. This mode is reversible any time and you can decide to see all of your notifications by simply clicking this box again.
The Requests section will only show the current requests from users willing to join the projects you are administering. In the Notification section, you can read the reason given by the requester by clicking on Reason. Two options will appear below the request: Reject or Accept. When the request is approved or rejected, it will not appear in the Requests section anymore but will appear in the Notifications section.
