Notifications Overview

When certain actions occur throughout the system, notifications can be sent to a user’s email inbox who has the notification selected in their profile. The notifications can come from HQ & the Service app. Additionally, if applicable, notifications can come from your business integrated system and Customer Portal. If notifications are set to email only, you can view the notification information on the email itself, or select the link at the bottom of the email: See More, which will take you to that respective screen in HQ.

  3. From the Notification Type dropdown, select the type of Notification. NOTE: Depending on the chosen Notification type, you may also be able to set which location(s) you only want to receive the notification for. Set the respective configurations, then click [Save].
