Notifications

When the notification inbox is available in your deployment, select the bell in the main navigation to open it. The number beside the bell is your unread count.

The inbox retains completed imports and exports, project invitations, new review access and configured workload changes. Select an export item to see its result and open the project’s export page. Exports are downloaded to your browser when you run them; a notification does not store another copy of the file.

Select Mark as read to clear an item’s unread status. It remains in your history. Opening or reading a notification does not change the related project or export.

The inbox refreshes as events arrive and recovers saved items when your connection returns. If a request fails, select Retry. Refreshing the browser retains your saved history and read status.

Only you can read your inbox. If your access to a related project changes, SyRF withholds its result and action and shows Related item unavailable.

A completed import shows the search name and number of studies imported. Open searches returns to the project’s searches page. Only imports started while the inbox is available have an established personal recipient; older imports are not added retrospectively.

Project invitations for registered accounts appear in the recipient’s inbox. Review invitation opens the existing accept/decline page. Marking it read does not respond to it. A revoked or resolved invitation no longer exposes an active invitation link. Existing invitation emails continue, including invitations sent to addresses that do not yet have a SyRF account.

New review access appears when a committed membership or permission change grants you review access to a stage. Workload changed shows your own allocation and the number of reviews required per study before and after the change. Unrelated group edits and unchanged allocation settings do not create another notification. Claiming an individual study stays silent.

Select Open stage to enter an active stage you can currently review. If the stage is inactive, the notification explains that and retains its context without offering a review link. Marking these notifications read does not change your permissions, allocation or study work.

When notification email is available in your deployment, select Email preferences in the inbox to choose which kinds of notification can also send you an email. Every kind starts Off. Choose Immediately and save to receive an email that links to the saved notification. Turning a kind on does not email its older history. Reading an inbox item does not cancel an email.

SyRF checks your preferences and your current access again just before it sends. Choosing Off stops unsent email of that kind; your inbox stays as it is. Dismissing a notice does not cancel an email that is already due for it. SyRF never sends an email for a notice more than 24 hours old. Your administrators may pause notification email for a while; emails wait and are sent once when it resumes, unless you have turned them off or the notice is by then more than 24 hours old. Invitation and account emails are sent as before, whatever you choose here.

Daily digests follow in a later release. The daily option is unavailable until then.
