Notes

  1. All types support modifying and adding/deleting recipients.

  2. All types of notifications sent will pop up in the upper right corner of any Guandata BI interface opened by recipients, not because the type is "Dashboard Message" that it only pops up when users open that page.

  3. After the notification information window pops up, version 5.7 and earlier require users to manually close the popup; version 5.8 can set whether to automatically close popups, and after reaching the validity period, unreceived announcements will no longer be pushed, received ones will be marked as invalid.

  4. Notification title and notification content are all information visible to recipients, currently only supports manual input, plain text format. Recipients cannot see "Resource Object" names, so it's recommended to manually input resource names in the title or content.

  5. During the announcement validity period, user end can receive related notifications (expired will not be received), and notifications float on the right window (whether to automatically disappear is set by administrator on the publishing end).

Administrator users can view received notification information from the "Received" tab, ordinary users can only see received notification list after clicking "My Notifications". Among them, export task notifications are automatically generated by the system and can be used to view export history and obtain download links.
