Notifications
Who this is for
Trainees, FTOs, supervisors, and program staff — the bell in the page header and optional email on My Profile.
End-user guide only. Configuring program training alerts is documented separately for system administrators.
The notification bell
Click the bell at the top of any page when signed in.
- A red badge means items need your attention.
- The dropdown lists items with links to open each one.
- If nothing is pending, you see No new notifications.
Trainees
| Section | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Your sign-offs waiting on you | Checklist or objective lines where you must Acknowledge |
Click an item to open the checklist or objectives page. Save a signature on My Profile first.
DOR acknowledgment is usually on the DOR page — see Acknowledging your DORs (trainee).
FTOs and supervisors
| Section | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Workflow items waiting on you | DOR or form in the approval chain — submit, approve, acknowledge, or return |
| Objective supervisor approvals waiting on you | Objective lines needing supervisor Approve |
| Program training alerts | Automated alert fired — opens a linked report |
| Training file exports ready to download | Trainee archive ZIP you requested is ready |
For a full queue: Reports → Workflow → My queue.
Email vs in-app
| Channel | Where to control |
|---|---|
| In-app (bell) | Always available when signed in |
| Workflow email | My Profile → Notification preferences |
Email me when a workflow step is waiting on me is on by default. Turning it off stops workflow emails only — you still see items in the bell.
Program training alert emails and export-ready emails are configured elsewhere (admin alert rules / export actions), not on this toggle.
