In the past we used to have notifications only in the form of mails. Now we added a notification center in the app itself!
At the top there is a bell icon which when clicked routes you to the notification center.
It also shows the amount of unread notifications. When a notification has been received a popup shows up on the right side of the screen.
When in the notification center there is collection of all unread notification.
There is also the choice to see ALL notifications. When a notification is clicked, it will be marked as read and the user will be routed to the subject of the notification
These are lists of the types of notifications and to whom they are sent out
These notifications are sent out immediately. The user will get an in-app notification and will receive a mail for each notification

These notifications will be sent out in a “daily digest”.
Every night notifications are made and collected. When they have been collected they are show in a daily digest mail. From this mail the user can go straight to the subject or to the notification center.
These notifications are of course also available in the notification center.

The unread count at the top of the page updates whenever a new notification comes in. When this new notification comes in, there will also be a popup on, the right side of the screen. This popup has 2 buttons:
Go to the notification center
Mark the notification as read
However notifications for a new flow task, rejected flow and a reminder for a flow task have different buttons as these are notifications where action is usually required. The buttons here are:
Go to the notification center
Go to the flow page
This page defaults to a view where only the unread notifications are visible.
At the top right corner there is button to switch this view to all notifications, including read and unread notifications.
Every notification has an icon and a color. These icons are the same as the ones that are used in the navigation bar on the side.
There are 4 icons:
Flows
Contracts
Tasks
Credits
For flow these can also have a color, these colors are red, or green. This was it is easy to see in a glance whether something is positive or negative.
The notifications are paginated per 50 notifications. Every notification has a checkbox, when 1 is selected the bulk options are shown, which in this case are
mark as read
mark as unread
Every notification can be marked as read or as unread individually. When hovering over a notification the button will appear in the place where the amount of time ago it was sent is placed. This way the table only has 3 elements at a time.
