Open notification via bell

What is this?

When someone in your choir or association publishes a notification, you receive a bell entry. With one click on it you directly open the notification detail page — with content, attachments, comments and any polls.

This is usually the fastest way to read new notifications without first navigating to the Notifications area.

How to open a notification via the bell

1. Click the bell icon in the header.
2. In the dropdown see the notification entry.
3. Click the entry.
4. You land on the notification with full content.
5. Read, comment or react as usual.

What you can do on the notification

• Read content — full text, formatted content
• Open attachments — PDFs, images, Office documents
• Comment — replies and discussion
• React — thumbs up, heart, more reactions
• Participate in polls if one is embedded
• Archive — remove notification from your list

Permission

You can only open notifications that are released for you — i.e. notifications from choirs or associations you are a member of. For restricted notifications (e.g. only for the board) you need the corresponding permission group.

Tips

• React promptly — especially with polls and registrations with deadlines you otherwise miss important things.
• Use the comment function for follow-up questions — that way everyone has the discussion traceable in one place, instead of scattered in chats and emails.
• For association announcements you often have attachments with program flyers or registration links — open these comfortably in the browser instead of downloading the whole PDF.
