Notifications keep you informed about activity that requires your attention in Procurement Sciences - such as being assigned work, updates to tasks you’re part of, and changes to teams you’re on or own. This article walks you through the notification inbox, how to manage individual and bulk notifications, how notifications behave across in-app and email, and how to configure your preferences.
Accessing your notifications
When notifications are enabled on your account, a notifications(bell) icon appears in the top right of your navigation bar. Click the bell icon to open your notification inbox.
Filtering your inbox
Your inbox includes filtering options so you can quickly find what you're looking for. You can sort notifications by:
All – All Notifications in your active inbox
Unread – Notifications you haven't opened yet
Archived – Notifications you've moved out of your active inbox that you can choose to ‘unarchive’.
Managing individual notifications
For each notification, you can:
View the associated item – Clicking a notification takes you directly to the relevant place in Procurement Sciences, such as a task within it’s opportunity or an opportunity team.
Archive – Move the notification out of your active inbox.
Bulk actions
To act on all notifications at once, click the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the notification interface. From there, you can:
Mark all notifications as read
Archive all notifications
Archive only notifications that have already been read
In-app and email notifications
Every notification type can reach you in two places, and both are on by default when notifications are enabled:
In-app – Delivered to your notification inbox under the bell icon.
Email – Sent to the email address on your account.
Email notifications aren’t available in self-hosted environments; if your organization is self-hosted, you’ll receive in-app notifications only.
For your security, email notifications keep details generic and don’t include opportunity names or other sensitive information. To see the specifics, click the link in the email to open the item directly in Procurement Sciences.
You will not be notified about actions you take yourself — notifications are only sent for activity by others that involves you.
Notification preferences
Open the preferences menu to control which notifications you receive. By default, all notification types are enabled for in-app and email when notifications are turned on for your account, but you can opt out of any type and channel at any time.
Notification types
The table below lists every notification type currently available. All types are on by default for in-app and email; you can adjust any of them in your preferences.
Notification Type | When you’ll receive it | Channels |
Opportunity Task Assigned | When an opportunity task is assigned to you. | In-app, Email |
Opportunity Task Completed | When a task you’re involved with is completed (via a change in the task’s Status). | In-app, Email |
Added to Opportunity Team | When you’re added to an opportunity team, or when a member is added to an opportunity team you own. | In-app, Email |
Frequently asked questions
Can I snooze a notification? Snooze is not part of the current version of the application. Use archive instead if you want to clear a notification from your active inbox.
Are notifications on by default? Yes. Once notifications are enabled for your account, all notification types are on by default for both in-app and email. You can opt out of any individual type or channel from the preferences menu within Notifications
