    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).

    The Notifications Panel

    The Notifications list is a helpful way to view Rialto orders requiring your attention for the last month. After one month's time, all notifications are deleted. The order of the notifications is from the most recent and down, by time and date. 

    To open the Notifications panel:
    1. To open the Notifications panel, select the notifications panel icon.png icon on the persistent menu bar in Alma. The system checks for changes to your tasks every few minutes, and if new changes exist, the counter is displayed on the icon - notifications panel icon with number.png
    2. To have the panel constantly displayed, pin it to Alma screen by selecting the pin panel icon.png icon.

    3. To enable notifications of a certain category (Market, etc.), toggle on the control. 
    4. To enable specific notification types within the category (for example, notifications on the creation on new PO lines), select the relevant checkbox. 
    5. To opt in to receive notifications to your email box, click Notification Preferences, and then select the "Email" checkbox. 
      Emails are sent to the address defined as your 'Primary' email address. The Alma Administrator needs to make sure that the email is in the email allowed list in Alma.
      The letter that is sent is 'User Notifications (New Gen)', see Configuring Alma Letters. Please note when configuring this letter that edits will apply to all notifications sent from Rialto. 
    6. To opt in to received notifications as pop-up messages, click Notification Preferences, and then select the "Pop-up (immediate)" checkbox. Example of a popup notification:
