Notifications
Your in-app inbox for one organization, and the settings that decide which events reach you, in the app or by email.
Overview
The bell in the header shows your most recent notifications for the organization you are working in. The Notifications page behind Show all notifications is the full inbox: every notification, unread first, paged rather than capped. Its Product updates tab lists the devguard changelog the bell also shows; marking an update read there marks it read in the bell too.
Notifications are personal. Two members of the same organization see different inboxes, and switching organizations switches the inbox.
Reading
The page opens on Unread. Switch to All to see what you have already read.
- Click a notification's title to open the item it is about. An unread notification is marked read when you follow it.
- Mark as read on a row marks that one notification without leaving the page.
- Mark all as read clears the whole unread set for this organization.
Older notifications are on the following pages. The page is part of the address, so a link to page three opens page three.
What you are notified about
devguard sorts its notifications into categories. Each category has two switches under Account → Notifications: In-app for this inbox and the bell, Email for your mailbox.
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Assignments & mentions | Something is assigned to you, directly or through a business role you hold; you are mentioned; an item you own is referenced |
| Updates to your items | Changes to the status or key details of items you own or oversee; evidence or a Statement of Applicability approved; an integration check failing or a connection becoming unhealthy; process checklists and reports; an organization export that is ready, failed or too large |
| Comments | A mention in a comment, or a reply to yours |
| Deadlines | A deadline that is overdue, due today, due tomorrow or due soon |
| Policies | Approvals and new versions of policies you own or approve |
| Marketing | In the app, the product updates from the devguard changelog, in the bell and on the Product updates tab; by email, occasional announcements |
| System | Account messages such as email changes and password resets, which you cannot switch off |
These settings are yours, not the organization's: they apply across every organization you belong to, so muting Deadlines here mutes them everywhere. Without an active organization, only Marketing and System appear.
Email cadence
For every category except Marketing and System, once its email switch is on, choose Instant to get each notification as it happens, or Weekly digest to receive one summary a week. With the weekly digest, you also pick the day it arrives; Monday is the default.
The in-app inbox is not affected by the cadence. A notification always appears here when it happens.
