What will my notifications show?

You will receive a notification if you are invited to one of the following:

  • Meetings

  • Calls

A notification will also be sent for any reminders for the above activities.

How will I know if I have new notifications?

If you have new notifications you will receive a pop-up at the top of the screen, similar to the following:

You will also see the number of notifications beside the 🔔 icon.

How quickly will my notifications update?

By default, the notifications are configured to be checked every minute.

You can define how often, in minutes, the notifications are to refresh by setting the 'autoRefreshFrequency' option, within the 'config/services/ui/notifications.yaml' configuration file. See the following snippet.

For performance purposes a random deviation is added to the auto refresh period. This prevents having a request done for every active user at exactly the same time every minute. The default deviation is a random number between -15 and +15 seconds.

parameters:
  notifications:
    module: 'alerts'
    class: 'notifications'
    maxListHeight: 350
    ...
    autoRefreshFrequency: 1 #minutes
    autoRefreshDeviationMin: -15 #seconds. set 0 for no deviation
    autoRefreshDeviationMax: 15 #seconds. set 0 for no deviation
    ...

Configure the height of the notifications table

From the code block above you can see that maxHeightList is also set. Changing the value here will update the size of the table.

Snoozing and Dismissing Notifications

As shown below, on each notification there are 2 icons: Snooze and Dismiss.
