Help/Getting started/Read your notifications

Read your notifications

Everything that needs a human — approvals, permits, warranties and follow-ups — in one place.

What this is for

Notifications is the one place Sign OS tells you things that need a human: a customer approved a proof, a permit is due, a warranty check-up is coming up, a watchdog rule found a low-margin quote, a follow-up automation fired. The badge on the Alerts button in the sidebar is how many you have not read.

Read your notifications — the screen in Sign OS

What is on this screen

Each part of the screen above, top to bottom, and what changing it affects.

Unread / All
Unread shows only what you have not opened; the count is the same number as the badge on Alerts.
Mark all read
Clears the badge without opening each one.
The list
Newest first; each links to the quote, job or customer it is about. You're all caught up is the empty state.
Refresh notifications · Load older notifications
New ones arriving while you read show a bar to refresh; Load older reaches further back.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Press Alerts in the sidebar footer (the badge is the unread count). The page is headed Notifications.

  2. 2

    Read the list, newest first. Each links to the quote, job or customer it is about. Unread shows only what you have not opened; All shows everything.

  3. 3

    Open one and it is marked read; Mark all read clears the lot. Load older notifications reaches further back.

  4. 4

    If new ones arrive while you are reading, a bar says so — Refresh notifications loads them.

Tips & gotchas

  • →Which alerts you get depends on your role and on the rules under Watchdog and Follow-up automations. If you are drowning, fix the rules, not the inbox.
