Enable notifications

Use notifications in the web app to notify users of new action items.

Overview

With the notification center enabled, the scheduler will receive a notification every time a resource creates an availability or unavailability request. The scheduler can quickly inspect each request and act accordingly, i.e., click on a notification to open the availability request modal to take action.

The notifications center is not available for Skedulo on Salesforce users.

The notification center is represented by a small bell icon at the top right of the console.
