Notifications

The notification center

The notification center is your personal inbox for everything ThreatWeaver has flagged for you. This page explains the bell dropdown, the full inbox and every control in it, and the preferences that decide what reaches you and how.

Your administrator can also turn the notification inbox off for the whole workspace. If that's the case, opening the inbox shows a short explanation screen instead of your notifications — contact your administrator if you expected to see one.

What it's for

  • See what needs attention from a priority-sorted, time-grouped list.
  • Triage fast — mark read, save for later, snooze, or mark done, one at a time or in bulk.
  • Find a specific alert with search and filters for category, priority, reason, channel, and date.
  • Tune what you receive — set a channel per event type, batch low-priority items into a daily digest, and mute with Do Not Disturb.

The screens in it

The bell and its dropdown

The bell in the top bar shows a count of unread notifications. The count's colour reflects the most urgent thing waiting: red when you have a critical item, amber when you have an important one.

Click the bell to open a compact dropdown of your most recent notifications, grouped into Today and Earlier.

The bell dropdown — recent notifications grouped by time
ControlWhat it does
All / Unread / Read tabsFilters the dropdown to that set.
Do Not Disturb (moon icon)Mutes interruptive alerts for one hour. Turn it off again with the same button. Critical alerts still come through.
Mark all readClears the unread state on everything currently in the list.
A notification rowClick it to mark it read; click the arrow on the right to jump to the related item.

The full inbox

Opening the inbox gives you the whole triage surface: a header, view tabs, a filter bar, the list itself, and a detail panel on the right when you select an item.

The notification center — views, filters, list, and detail panel

Every control explained

ControlWhat it does
Mark all readMarks every unread notification as read.
PreferencesOpens your notification preferences (also reachable from Settings). See Your preferences below.

Views

A row of tabs switches which notifications the list shows:

ViewWhat it shows
UnreadItems you haven't opened yet.
AllEverything, read or not.
SavedItems you've starred to keep.
DoneItems you've cleared out of your active list.
SnoozedItems you've hidden until a later time.

Filters

The filter bar narrows the current view. Filters combine, so you can stack them.

ControlWhat it does
SearchMatches text in the title or body of a notification.
CategoriesA multi-select for the kind of event — for example Findings, Scans, Threat Intel, Assets, Exposure, Remediation, Reports, Compliance, and more.
PriorityLimits the list to Critical, Important, or Informational items.
ReasonFilters by why you received it — Assigned to you, Your request, You own this asset, or Security monitoring.
ChannelShows items delivered In-app or by Email.
From / To dateRestricts the list to a date range.
Clear filtersRemoves all active filters at once (appears only when filters are set).
Select allSelects every item currently listed, for a bulk action.

The list

Each row shows a priority badge (Critical, Important, or Informational), the category and reason, the title and a short preview, and how long ago it arrived. A left edge marker flags an unread item, and a star marks a saved one. When several similar alerts are rolled together, a count in parentheses shows how many.

Each row has quick actions on the right:

Row actionWhat it does
Save (star)Keeps the item in your Saved view. Click again to unsave.
Snooze 1h (clock)Hides the item and brings it back in an hour.
Done (trash)Clears the item from your active list into Done.

Clicking anywhere else on a row opens it in the detail panel and marks it read.

Bulk actions

Tick the checkboxes on one or more rows (or use Select all) and a bulk bar appears:

Bulk actionWhat it does
ReadMarks the selected items read.
DoneClears the selected items into Done.
SaveStars the selected items.
ClearDeselects everything.

The detail panel

Selecting a notification opens a panel on the right with its full title, priority and category, the complete message, and — when the alert points at something — an Open related item link that takes you straight there. A Was this helpful? control lets you rate the notification Helpful or Not helpful; that feedback helps administrators spot noisy, low-value alert types.

Keyboard shortcuts

The inbox supports keyboard triage. With the list focused:

KeyAction
j / kMove down / up the list.
uMark the focused item unread.
eMark the focused item done.
sSave (or unsave) the focused item.
hSnooze the focused item for an hour.

Pagination

When there's more than one page of notifications, arrows at the bottom move between pages and a label shows the current page and total count.

Your preferences

Preferences (from the inbox header, or Settings) is where you decide what reaches you and how. Changes apply after you click Save Preferences.

Notification preferences — global settings, per-type channels, and Do Not Disturb

Global settings

ControlWhat it does
Email notifications master toggleTurns all email notifications on or off in one switch.
Daily digestBatches your lower-priority items into a single daily email instead of sending each one separately.
Web pushOpts your current browser in to push notifications, so Critical and Important alerts can reach you as native OS notifications while the tab is open but backgrounded. Informational alerts aren't sent this way, and it doesn't deliver if the browser itself is fully closed.

Per-event channels

Event types are grouped (Scans, Findings, Reports, Compliance, and so on). Expand a group and set a channel for each event type:

Channel optionWhat you get
BothAn in-app notification and an email.
In-App OnlyOnly the in-app notification.
Email OnlyOnly an email.
OffNothing — you're asked to confirm before silencing a type.

Some event types are marked required. The most critical ones remove the Off option from the channel selector entirely — you can move them between In-App and Email, but you can't silence them. A few other types marked required still show Off in the list; picking it is rejected when you save, so treat required as meaning the type can't actually be turned off, even where the option briefly appears selectable. Your organization's policy may also make certain types mandatory.

Do Not Disturb

Do Not Disturb mutes interruptive alerts. Choose a mode:

ModeWhat it does
Off (always notify)No muting.
Always (mute all)Mutes continuously until you change it.
ScheduledMutes only between a start and end time in a timezone you pick.

Critical alerts are always delivered, even during Do Not Disturb hours.

Always (mute all) doesn't persist as its own setting. When you save it, it's stored the same as Scheduled but with no start/end time, so if you reload the page it reappears as Scheduled with blank times rather than Always. Re-select Always again if you land on that blank-schedule state and meant to keep muting everything.

The bell's Do Not Disturb toggle and this Scheduled setting share one saved record. Setting a nightly schedule here, then later turning Do Not Disturb off from the bell's moon icon, resets that shared record to Off — silently disabling your schedule until you come back and set it again. There's no warning when this happens, so if your nightly quiet hours suddenly stop working, check here first.

If you're not receiving notifications you expect, an administrator can check using the delivery diagnostic under Notification Admin → Diagnose (everyone else should contact their administrator). See Delivery and email.

Common workflows

Workflow: triage down to what matters, then act

  1. Open the inbox and select the Unread view.

    Step 1 — the Unread view
  2. Set Priority to Critical to surface only the most urgent items.

    Step 2 — filtered to critical notifications
  3. Open a notification to read it in the detail panel, then click Open related item to jump to the finding, asset, or report it refers to.

    Step 3 — the detail panel with the related-item link
  4. Back in the list, tick the items you've handled and click Done in the bulk bar to clear them.

Workflow: quiet the noise from a chatty alert type

  1. Open Preferences.
  2. Expand the group that contains the noisy event type.
  3. Change its channel from Both to In-App Only (or Email Only), or to Off if it isn't a required type, and confirm.
  4. Optionally turn on Daily digest so remaining low-priority items arrive as one email a day.
  5. Click Save Preferences.
