Notifications in CSFaaS are generated based on actions requiring your review, determined by the defined validation steps (refer to Settings for more details) and your assigned role.
The platform provides two types of notifications, displayed at the top right of the interface:
1. Informational notifications (toast messages)
- These appear instantly on the screen as small pop-ups whenever an action is performed in the workspace.
- They are designed to keep the user informed in real time (e.g., creating a framework, registering a risk, updating a setting, etc.).
- These notifications disappear automatically after a few seconds.
2. Action-required notifications (notification center)
- These messages require user intervention.
- They are grouped in the notification center, accessible by clicking the bell icon at the top right.
Examples include approval requests, assigned tasks, or critical security alerts. You can access your notifications by clicking on the bell icon. When a new notification arrives, a message appears in your workspace, and the number of pending notifications is displayed in a red circle above the bell.
These actions typically require you to accept or deny a request and originate from key workflows enforcing rules for critical actions, such as:
- Framework or policy deletion
- Framework and policy version management
- Risk assessment demand approval
- Assurance reviews
By default, notifications are marked as "Unread". Once you accept or deny them, they are updated to "Read".
You can easily manage notifications by navigating through the "All", "Unread", and "Read" tabs, ensuring a clear overview of pending and resolved tasks.
Notification preferences and settings can be configured in your Workspace Settings to match your workflow and requirements.
This streamlined notification system keeps you informed, efficient, and in control of critical processes within CSFaaS.
