Notifications

Docwize has two related areas for notifications:

• The Notifications panel — where you view incoming notifications, accessible from the bell icon in the left-hand sidebar.
• Notification preferences — where you control how and when you receive notifications, configured in Settings.

The Notifications panel

Click the bell icon near the bottom of the left-hand sidebar to open the Notifications panel.

Example: the History tab showing past notifications. Your notifications will vary.

The panel has two tabs:

Tab	What it shows
Unread	Notifications that have not yet been read. Shows "No unread notifications." when the queue is clear.
History	All past notifications in reverse chronological order, including those already read.

Each notification shows:

Element	Description
Category	The type of notification — for example, Policy updates.
Timestamp	The date and time the notification was sent.
Heading	A bold summary of the notification content.
Body	The full notification message, which may include links to relevant documents or resources.

Download progress also appears in the Notifications panel when a download is running.

Notification preferences

To configure how you receive notifications, click your user initial at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar, select Settings, then select Notifications.

Setting	Description
Enable notifications	Turns notifications on or off. When unchecked, no notifications are generated.
In-app notifications	When checked, notifications appear in the Notifications panel within Docwize.
Email notifications	When checked, notifications are also sent to the user's email address.
Frequency	Controls how often email notifications are sent. Options: Immediate, Hourly, Daily, Weekly.

Click Save Notifications to apply changes. Settings are saved per user and synced via your organisation workspace.

note

If Enable notifications is unchecked, the In-app notifications and Email notifications settings have no effect.
