The notifications panel on the Homepage provides a comprehensive view of all notifications you have received. For increased productivity, they are segregated into tabs such as Primary, Portfolio, Assignments, and Announcements. The numbers against these tabs represent the count of unread notifications in each category.

Each notification includes an icon indicating its source (e.g., Unit plan) and a brief description of the activity. The date of the notification is also displayed, helping you track recent and older notifications. You can click on any notification to go to the exact part of the platform where that notification was triggered.

Click on the ‘Mark all as read’ icon to mark all notifications as read. Additionally, the ‘Show only unread’ icon allows you to filter out the notifications that are unread. This is particularly useful for managing large volumes of notifications efficiently.

Lastly, you can customize your notification preferences using the gear icon, which we will explore in detail in the next section.
