Notifications
The bell icon provides access to the notifications message area. Notification messages inform users about events that effect their VeeaHubs, for example, going offline or coming online. When a notification has been received, the icon changes to a red color and the number of unread messages is superimposed on the icon.
Select the 'See more' button to access the main message list which has a paged structure to allow you to view older messages (Fig 4). Messages tagged with a blue-colored information icon, indicate the message is unread.
To view notification messages, click on the bell icon located on the top tray.
A record of the elapsed time, since the notification was triggered, is shown beneath each message.
Click on a message to tag it as read, or use the 'Mark all as read' button to change all the messages on every page to read.
Click the 'Done' button to close the message list.
A 'search notifications' bar allows you to search for messages. It is an incremental search where you only need to enter a part of the required search string to find matches.
