Notifications may be used by the school district to notify users when an event, such as a new student enrollment, occurs. Notifications are permission-driven, with the ability to create notification types and recipient lists limited to a handful of users. When a notification is received, it may be viewed and responded to from the Q Home Page, and a new manual notification may be created and sent as well.
- Notifications are displayed on the bottom right corner of Q Home Page.
- The notification icon is green if there are no unread notifications.
- The notification icon is red and will include the number of new notifications if there are unread notifications.
- A notification widget is available and may be added to the user’s Home Page to display new notifications.
