¶ Notifications component
The Notifications component keeps us informed about everything that matters in the application: overdue tasks, process events, and other relevant alerts. It centralizes messages related to our work so we can react quickly and stay aligned with the rest of the team.
A message describing the event (for example, a delayed task that may impact another one).
- A relative timestamp (e.g. about 16 hours ago), so we know how recent the event is.
- A context menu, accessible via the ellipsis icon on the right, can be used to mark the notification as read.
The Notifications component typically shows only the notifications that are relevant to the current user (for example, tasks where we are responsible or subscriber, or processes in which we participate).
¶ Typical usage
We usually add the Notifications component to:
- A home interface or user dashboard, so each user immediately sees their most important alerts.
- A process monitoring page, where overdue tasks and critical events are highlighted.
By surfacing task and process events in one place, the Notifications component improves communication and helps us respond to issues before they impact the rest of the workflow.
