Notifications

The Notification Center brings all system-generated notifications together in one place. Notifications are personal, do not disappear automatically, and can include both expected updates (for example, a completed export) and unexpected information that requires action.

Notifications are enabled system-wide and do not require configuration. Notification behavior and interactions are consistent across the old and new user interface.

The bell popover

In the top-right corner of Legalsense Online, click the bell icon to open the notifications popover.

• When there are no notifications, the popover shows View all notifications.
• When notifications are present, the popover shows up to three latest notification cards.
• When there are more than three notifications, the bottom card shows View N notifications.
• If billing workflow is enabled, the popover can also show View N open task(s).

Open the Notification Center

Open the Notification Center in either of these ways:

• Click a notification message directly in the popover.
• Click View all notifications or View N notifications in the popover.

Inside the Notification Center

The Notification Center shows all notifications in a table. Each row can include:

• Date and time
• Message text
• Severity level (Information, Warning, Error)
• An optional attachment (for example, an export)
• An optional hyperlink to related records (for example, an invoice or matter)

Sort and filter the columns to find relevant notifications.

Download exports from notifications

To download an export file that was prepared in the background:

1. Open the Notification Center from the notifications popover.
2. Find the notification row and use the link in the Attachment column to download the file.

Example of a notification with an attachment.

In the screenshot above, the blue Info row (A download notification) contains a link in the Attachment column.

How Legalsense notifies you

Legalsense currently uses several forms of notifications. The Notification Center centralizes more of this information over time, but does not immediately replace all existing methods.

• Messages on the home page: these will gradually move into the Notification Center.
• Messages on the current page: these give you immediate feedback on your actions and will remain.
• Email notifications: email notifications remain in place, but certain notifications are now sent only to the Notification Center.

Tasks (billing workflow only)

If your environment uses billing workflow, the bell can also show open tasks assigned to you. Click View N open task(s) to open the Tasks overview.
