Here™ Notifications

Web apps that are added by admins can send Here™ notifications. This page explains how to work with these notifications in a web app.

For details about creating notifications, see Add notifications.

Notifications on the desktop and in Notification Center

You can receive and respond to Here™ notifications on your desktop, as with other notification services like those of your operating system or web browser. Unlike other notification services, these notifications can be created to stay visible on the desktop until you interact with them. You can also view your notifications in the separate Notification Center application. Depending on how the notifications are configured, you can sort by different attributes, set reminders, clear or dismiss notifications, and more. Notifications that are dismissed on the desktop persist in the Notification Center application until you clear them.

Respond to notifications

Notifications can provide simple information, or they can request complex responses to calls to action. They can include extensive forms that let applications process the data that you provide in the form fields. They can use different banner colors to indicate different categories or priorities.

Some notifications let you set a reminder. This feature lets you be reminded of the notification at a more convenient time. The notification re-appears at the time that you select.
