Notification Inbox

Overview

The notification inbox is the full-page list of every notification you have received: announcements from your organization, course alerts, and automatic messages such as enrollment confirmations. The top bar reads "Notifications".

The page has two panes: the list on the left and the selected notification on the right. On a phone, a notification opens in a pop-up instead.

Open it from Notifications at the bottom of the left rail, or from View all in the bell dropdown in the top bar. A link to one notification (/notifications/<id>) opens the inbox with that notification selected.

Target Audience

Learner | Administrator (the Alerts tab and New Notification button)

Features

Inbox / Alerts

Inbox is your notifications. Alerts is the administrator's view of automatic alerts; see Alerts.

Notification list

Newest first. Each entry shows a blue dot when unread, the title, a two-line preview, and when it arrived ("Just now", "N hours ago", "Yesterday", or the date). Click one to open it and mark it read. Empty: "No notifications found".

Notification detail

The full notification: its title, the exact date and time (for example "October 8, 2026 at 4:00 PM"), and the formatted message. Before you pick one: "Select a notification to view details".

Mark all as read

Clears every unread dot and the badge on the bell.

New Notification (administrators)

Sends a notification to people in your organization. See OS: Notification Inbox for the form.
