The notification system in Elentra allows authorized users to post notices to the Elentra ME dashboard and to a publicly accessible RSS feed. It is recommended that only general information and nothing sensitive or personal be communicated through these channels.
When users log in they will see notices to them displayed in the message center on the dashboard.
Users can check the box beside a message and mark it as read to have it disappear from view. Users can click on Previously Read Messages to see older messages. They will be directed to a list of messages and can click on one to view it in detail.
