OS4X Enterprise Webaccess notifications

Starting with OS4X release 2020-09-29, you can define visible end-user notifications in HTML format in OS4X Webaccess. The configuration can be accessed via the administrative web interface in "Configuration" -> "OS4X Enterprise" -> "Notifications":

In the panel, you can add, change and delete notifications.

Adding notification

A new notification is being created using a wizard. At the end you save the notification. Before saving the entry, no notification will be created and prompted to users.

Then, you define content per language:

As last step you have to define the visibility of the notification: only entities below the selected ones will receive the notification in the configured time frame:

Edit notification

You can change existing notifications:

• Edit the internal name and validity timeframe of the notification
• Edit the contents for each language of the notification
• Change the target entities for the notification

Editing the notification does not impact the read state of an extsing notification: the already read and acknowledged notification will not be displayed to the same person again.

Delete notification

Deleting a notification is done by the "basket" icon. It cannot be undone.
