Notifications
In the Global Resources section of Sitecore Search, 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.

When a notification that requires action is issued, its status is set to Pending Resolution. You continue to receive the same notification until someone resolves the triggering issue or the issue resolves itself.
