Notifications

The Notices feed (the bell icon) is AccessPoint's system of record for everything that happened that you should know about — @mentions, replies on discussions you follow, assignment and task activity, request activity, due-date reminders, and system announcements. The in-app feed is always on and is never suppressed by your notification preferences; email and Teams are only amplifiers layered on top of it.

What Appears in the Feed

The feed collects:

• @mentions and replies on discussions you follow
• Assignment activity and task activity
• Request activity
• Due-date reminders
• System announcements

Unread counts drive the badge on the bell icon.

Reading and Acting on Notices

1. Open Notices. Unread items are highlighted with a blue dot and bold text.
2. Narrow the list with the Unread only toggle and the category dropdown — Mentions, Comments, Assignment activity, Task activity, Deadline reminders, Announcements, or Request activity.
3. Click a notice to jump straight to its source: an assignment or task notice opens that panel, while others open the parent request. The notice is marked read automatically.
4. Use the Cancel (X) on a row to dismiss a single notice, or Mark all as read to clear the unread count in one click.
5. Use Show more to page through older notices.

Due-date reminders are rendered live in your interface language ("Request 2026-0142 is due in 3 day(s)", "…is due today", "…is 2 day(s) overdue"), while activity notices arrive already translated to each recipient's preferred language.

My Day: Your Next-Action List

Where the Notices feed tells you what happened, My Day tells you what to do next. It is a personal, server-computed to-do list that looks across everything you touch — requests, assignments, tasks, reviews, consultations, correspondence follow-ups, and more — and surfaces the concrete next action for each, grouped into Overdue, Due today, Due soon, and Needs action. My Day is introduced in Getting started.

Controlling Email and Teams

The in-app feed can't be turned off, but you decide which categories also reach you by email or Microsoft Teams. Open the Settings (gear) icon in the Notices panel to set your notification preferences.
