Notifications to users

Call
The notification function is located in the administration area () in the Overview > Notification tab.
Define target group
The target group is defined according to the Rights management of the BPC. A distinction is made between two target groups:
-
Recipients who have a role.
-
Recipients who are assigned to an organization
Depending on the type of recipient group, a list of either organizations or roles is offered, which are available in the BPC.
Accordingly, you can define one or more recipient groups based on their affiliation to an organization or address individual roles.
If you want to define several organizations or roles, click on the corresponding fields in the drop-down list one after the other.
Define the urgency of the display
Depending on the type of display, the messages appear at different places in the user interface. A distinction is made between three different display options:
-
Display to be confirmed
A pop-up window opens in the user interface of the target group. This is only closed again when the user confirms.
-
Temporary display
A message appears on the target group’s user interface, which disappears again by itself after a short time.
-
No display
The notification only appears in the notification history.
There are also different notification types that make the urgency more visible to the recipient:
-
Error
-
Warning
-
Information
All notifications, regardless of type or display, are saved in the notifications menu and can be read there again.
