Notifications

The Notifications panel displays the history of all received messages addressed to this User sorted by their categories. In order to open this panel, click the envelope icon located in the application header, to the left from the account widget:

Please note that in case the User has some unread messages, this will be indicated in the special circle near the icon. The following screen will be opened after tapping the Notifications section:

The main screen of this panel contains toolbar and message cards, in order to display the message body itself you should tap on one of them. The toolbar is located in the upper left part of the panel, above the message cards:

The categories to which certain messages belong are displayed here. In order to be subscribed to some categories, the User should activate them in the Subscriptions tab (or in the General settings of the application, configured by the admin), that is, the User should have a subscription to a category in order to receive its messages.

Tap on the required category to select it, swipe categories to the right to find the ones that didn't fit in the list. Each category has its own color assigned by the admin, uncategorized items are gray.

When the user selects a particular category, only cards of this category will remain in the panel, their grouping occurs by name. The rest of the cards will be hidden. To display all cards, regardless of their category, select the “All” item.

Message card contains topic and preview of the received notification. The time of message receiving is indicated in the upper right corner, it will display simply time in case the message was received today, or time and date in case it was received in the previous dates:

The message card is also colored in category colors, and after reading it becomes a neutral gray color which allows the User to easily identify the status of this message. Even when read, the card will still retain a small colored strip on the left side to indicate that it belongs to one category or another:

Opening the message card will proceed the User to the main text field, where the topic of the message is at the top and the text itself follows it.
