Notification center

​

Overview

Some Designer operations keep running after you start them: a version or build export is assembled in the background, an imported version or build is unpacked into the workspace, and a process instance migration settles batch by batch. The notification center tells you when each of those operations starts and how it ended, lets you act on the result from the notification itself, and keeps a history so a result you missed is still there when you come back. Notifications reach you in two ways:

• Pop-up notifications appear in the corner of the Designer as soon as an operation finishes, on any page.
• The notification center is a panel behind the bell in the app header. It lists every notification from the last 30 days, with read state, search, and filters.

​

What sends a notification

A notification is sent to the user who started the operation. Exports and imports send one when they start and another when they finish. A process instance migration sends one when it finishes.

​

In-progress notifications

When an export or import starts, you get an in-progress notification with a blue clock icon. When the operation finishes, the result replaces the in-progress notification, both on screen and in the notification center, so each operation is listed once. If an export finishes quickly, you only see the result.

​

What a notification shows

Each notification, in the pop-up and in the panel, shows:

• A status icon: a green check for success, an orange warning for a partial result, a red icon for a failure, and a blue clock for an operation still in progress.
• The title of the notification.
• A tag with the environment type of the workspace the operation ran in (SANDBOX, STAGING, or PRODUCTION), followed by the workspace name and the app name.
• A summary line:
  • For exports: the branch, the version ID, the target FlowX version, and whether media was included (media included or media excluded).
  • For imports: the branch and the version ID.
  • For migrations: the source and target build tags and an instance count.
• A short message when the operation has one to add, for example the reason an export failed.
• An action button for exports and imports, described in Acting on a notification.
• In the panel only, the age of the notification: now, then minutes (5m), hours (3h), days (2d), or weeks (1w).

Using the notification center

​

Open the panel

The bell sits at the top right of the header, next to your avatar, on every Designer page. A red dot on the bell means you have unread notifications. The panel lists all your notifications in the organization, not only the ones for the app you have open. Use the workspace tag, workspace name, and app name on each row to see where the operation ran.

​

Mark notifications as read

• One notification: hover over an unread row and click the check mark (Mark as read) next to its age.
• From a pop-up: click anywhere on the pop-up notification, including its close button.
• All notifications: click Mark all as read in the panel header.

Read state belongs to your user, not to the browser tab. When you mark a notification as read, it also shows as read in your other open Designer tabs and sessions.

​

Search notifications

Type in the Search notifications… field. The search starts after 2 characters and matches the notification title, message, workspace type, workspace name, app name, and the migration build and count details.

​

Filter notifications

Click the filter button next to the search field and pick one option: The filter button turns blue while a filter other than All Notifications is active. Search and filter combine: the search applies to the filtered list.

​

Pop-up notifications

Pop-up notifications appear at the edge of the screen when an operation finishes, on any Designer page:

• Each pop-up closes on its own after 5 seconds, or after 7 seconds when it offers an action. Click the close button to dismiss it sooner.
• Up to 3 pop-ups show at once. Further notifications wait and appear as space frees up.
• Hovering over the pop-ups, or moving focus into them, pauses the countdown. The countdown also pauses while the Designer tab is in the background.

​

Acting on a notification

Export and import notifications carry an action button, in the pop-up and in the panel. The button works from any Designer page: you don’t need to open the app the operation ran in.

​

Scope and retention

Personal. A notification goes only to the user who started the operation. Other users in the same workspace do not see it. Organization-wide. The notification center shows your notifications for the organization you are signed in to, from every workspace and app in it. The bell shows the same list from any app. 30-day history. The panel lists notifications from the last 30 days. Older notifications no longer appear. The panel footer shows this as Notifications are kept for 30 days. Not missed while signed out. Notifications are stored when they are sent. If an operation finishes while you are signed out, its notification appears in the panel the next time you open the Designer.
