You can only create notifications (other than the standard system notifications) in the Business Rule menu. Business Rules can produce notifications that pop up as toasts in the interface, for example, for new or updated content.

The notification toast displays up to 20 messages, with new notifications always placed on top. To access older messages, open the notifications in the main menu to view all notifications.

To see more details about a notification, select it in the notification toast. A detailed view of the selected notification opens, and actions, such as share or edit (depending on the notification type), are available.

When you open a notification's detailed view, it is considered read and no longer appears in the notification toast. However, you can find it in the Notification center.

You can collapse the notification toast by selecting the collapse arrow icon or close it using the X. Select Notifications to reopen it, if necessary.

You access the notification center from the notification toast in the Content Browser by selecting Show all.

The notifications center shows all notifications, sorted chronologically by date descending, by default. Select the icon outlined in red below to change the sort order if required.

The date/time format is taken from the Fotoware Alto format, which cannot currently be configured to ingest an incorrectly created JSON Schema per customer. There is no search in this area.

You can filter by:

• Notification state - Unread and Read
• Notification type
• Event type

• Schema ingest
• Transfer
• Share
• User Registration
• User Locked
• User Reviewed
• Batch-Edit Progress
• Reindex
• Statistics export

• Success - for example, for a completed ingest.
• Error - an incorrectly created JSON Schema ingest may cause an error, for example.
• Information - for example, when a new user has registered, or you have received a new share.
• In progress - for ingests, you can see a progress indicator showing how many items have already been ingested, and you can cancel the ingest if necessary.
• Warning - a canceled upload will be marked with an event type warning, for example.
• Pending - this is rarely seen, as it appears only during event initialization, selected notifications are read, and users are notified of unread notifications, so you might get an email if you have any.

Fotoware Alto automatically creates ingest, upload, or edit collections. Fotoware Alto Business Rules can also create collections for new, updated, or changed items - based on the Business Rule configuration.

You find these collections in the Notifications, where you can access the content items ingested together and edit, download, or share/embed them.

You can execute quick actions from the notification toast:

• Edit uploaded and ingested content (outlined in green below)
• Open share (outlined in red below)
• Cancel uploads (if the upload is still in progress)
• Mark all notifications as read (outlined in blue below)

In the notification center, you can mark all or selected notifications as read and deselect them.

You can only update notifications in the Business Rules menu.

• When you receive a share.
• When a new user has registered (if you are part of the built-in super admins group).
• When your account has been reviewed/locked/unlocked.
• When file content items are uploaded, the transfer is complete.
• When file content items are ingested, the ingest has completed.
• When schemas have been ingested, and the ingest has completed or failed.
• When a batch edit is in progress/has completed.
• When a user exports statistics.
