Notification Center

The Notification Center indicates your action items and notifications in the Vantagepoint browser application.

The Notification Center provides a central location for you to view notifications and take action on required action items. To open the Notification Center, click the orange notification icon (for example, ) at the top right of the main Vantagepoint toolbar in the browser application. The count on this button is dynamic and indicates how many active action items and notifications you have. The Notification Center and its activity count is refreshed every 5 minutes.

Two types of notifications are reported in the Notification Center: Action Items and Notifications.

If you enable Collaboration Business integration, the collaboration notifications do not display in the Notification Center. They display as a separate number in the toolbar.

Action Items

Action items require you to take action. They are grouped into types, for example, activity reminders or approval workflows, with the number of items for each type indicated. Each item in the list includes a hyperlink which opens the associated dialog box or application when you click the link. Action items are not cleared from the Notification Center list and its corresponding count until you complete the expected action. Action items include:

  • Activity reminders for upcoming activities on your calendar
  • Approvals for draft billing invoices
  • Approvals for items going through an approval process, such as timesheets, expense reports, AP invoices, purchase orders, and so on for which you are currently assigned
  • Timesheets that are due

Notifications

Notifications are informational items that may need your attention. These items are not grouped; each is listed separately. The most current items are displayed at the top of the list. Notification items are cleared when you click and view them or when you dismiss them directly from the list. Notifications include:

  • Draft billing invoices notifications
  • User-initiated and scheduled workflow notifications
  • Approval workflow notifications
  • System and company alerts
  • Shared calendar notifications
  • GovWin IQ integration import errors, Talent Management sync errors, CSV import errors, and Salesforce import errors.
