Notifications

Notifications in Exxat One for Sites help you stay informed about important updates from your partner schools. Instead of manually checking for changes, the system alerts you whenever actions such as slot requests, messages, schedule updates, or onboarding submissions occur.

Notifications appear directly inside the platform through the Notification Centre and can also be delivered via email, depending on your configuration.

This guide explains how to:

• View notifications in the system
• Enable browser notifications
• Customise which notifications you receive

After reading this guide, you will be able to:

• Identify where notifications appear in Exxat One
• Open and navigate the Notification Centre
• Mark notifications as read or filter them
• Enable browser notifications for Exxat One
• Configure which events trigger notifications
• Choose whether notifications appear in-app, email, or both

Before using notifications, keep the following in mind:

• Notifications are triggered by specific system events, such as slot requests or schedule changes.
• Your browser must allow notifications from Exxat One to receive in-app alerts.
• Notification preferences can be customised from Notification Configuration.
• Even if some notifications are disabled, important system alerts may still be delivered.

Viewing Notifications in Exxat One

When a new notification is received, a notification badge appears in the top-right corner of the platform.

The badge displays the number of unread notifications currently waiting for your attention.

Click the notification icon to open the Notification Centre.

Notifications are displayed from newest to oldest, helping you quickly review the latest updates from schools.

Clicking a notification related to a request, schedule, or message opens the item details in a side drawer on the current screen.

The drawer displays the relevant information and available actions for the selected item. You can close the drawer to return to your previous view without navigating away.

You will receive notifications for the following events:

• A new slot request is submitted by a school.
• A message is sent by a school, student, or clinical instructor.

Understanding the Notification Centre

The Notification Centre provides a central place to review and manage all your notifications.

Inside the notification panel, you will find several helpful controls.

Notification Categories

Notifications can be filtered using three views:

• All – Displays every notification
• All Messages – Shows only communication messages
• All Updates – Displays system updates such as requests, schedules, or onboarding events

Each tab also displays the number of notifications available.

Managing Notifications

Within the Notification Centre, you can:

• Use Mark All Read to clear all unread notifications, or mark individual notifications as read or unread as needed.
• Toggle Unread Only to view only notifications you have not opened
• Scroll through notifications to review older updates
• Click the close icon (X) to exit the notification panel

Each notification shows:

• Notification type (Update / Message)
• The user or system that triggered the action
• A short description of the event
• The timestamp of when the update occurred
