User Notifications

The Notifications area is available by clicking Home –> Notifications on the menu or by using the notifications icon in the top right menu area. Notifications happen for system packages as users add checklists, update vulnerabilities and generate POAM items. This allows communication across a team through the OpenRMF^® Professional application transparently.

Marking Notifications Read

To mark a notification as read you can click on it. It will change the highlight color to white. Behind the scenes it marks it as “read” for the user so they do not show up by default next time. You also can click the “Mark All Read” button to mark all unread notification for your account as you read them.

Filtering Notifications

You can click the switch in the top right just above the search box to display all notifications, even those you marked as read earlier. You also can click the Filter button to select a particular System Package and/or a Notification type to only display the notifications you wish to see. Click the Reset and then Set Filter to go back to showing all notifications.

Exporting Notifications

You can export your current view of notifications, including your filter settings, by clicking the Export button. The listing will download to a MS Excel file (*.xlsx) for your viewing, reporting, email, or deliverables.
