What appears in the Brand Hub?

image

A notification icon can be seen in the top right of the screen. As notifications are added they will be represented by a number in the circle. This circle will disappear if the user has no new notifications. From the notification centre the user will be able to view all notifications.

Clicking on the notification icon will show the most recent notifications in a list view. The default view will be ‘ordered by time’ and will show the most recent notifications first. Users can click a notification to be taken to the relevant page.

Users can choose to view notifications ‘ordered by time’ (most recent first) or ‘grouped by category’ using the options at the top of the notification list. When grouped by category, notifications will be shown with the most recent first within each category.

Each notification is accompanied by an icon relating to the area of the site/category to which it relates (for example baskets or user management). Each notification will contain the following information:

  • Site area icon e.g. User icon
  • Notification title e.g. Account awaiting approval
  • Description text e.g. New user (email) has requested access to the part of the site you administrate
  • Relative date/time of notification e.g. 1 hour ago, 1 day ago, 2 weeks ago
  • Link to relative site area (this will not be displayed however will action upon clicking the notification)

Notification states

New notifications (counted within the circle on the notification icon) have the status ‘new’. This is signified by a grey background. Once the notification has been opened, revealing the notification to the user, the status is changed to ‘seen’. This is signified by a change in background state to white.

Removing notifications

Notifications can be removed from the notification centre using the 'X' in the top right hand corner of any notification. Alternatively, in the category view, an entire category of notifications can be removed using the 'X' next to the category heading. When removing an entire category, the user will be prompted to confirm the decision before the notifications are all deleted.

⚠️
Please note, once a notification has been deleted, it can’t be recovered.
