User Notifications in Rialto
Notifications is an opt-in, system-level interface that displays items requiring your attention. Staff can elect to receive notifications centered on Rialto orders and workflows. Users who opt-in can receive a pop-up and/or email when orders are cancelled, rejected, or require intervention, etc. Users will also see the message (with actionable links) in the Notifications panel. For a walk through on viewing and managing user notifications, watch User Notifications (2:00 min).
