Notifications

In the Global Resources section of the Customer Engagement Console (CEC), the Notifications page lists all notifications that you subscribed to in your user account.

Notifications are brief messages that you receive to draw your attention to the state of your implementation. In your user account, you can choose to subscribe to a variety of notifications and to receive them in your preferred mode or medium.

You can browse all notifications in the list pane. By default, the list is sorted from the most recent occurrence to oldest occurrence. Every notification displays the following:

  • Name and icon of the entity that triggered the notification

  • Type

  • Severity

  • Date and time of the first and last notification

  • Status

The rest of this topic describes the various elements of a notification.
