This guide will go over the function System Notifications, which you can find in Settings.
What is a system notification?
By sending out a system notification you can deliver smaller messages to your employees that will appear once they log into your HR-ON Recruit account. This can be relevant in multiple situations.
For example, if you are a big company or organization and you want to let the entire group of staff members know that they no longer need to create anymore job ads within a specific field, you can easily get this message across through a system notification. It is also possible to send out notifications for administrators or certain departments only.
System notification types
When you create a system notification (learn more about this below), you can choose between different types. For instance, one that appears as a pop-up window, a bar in the bottom of the screen or simply a message in the field System notifications that you can find on the HR-ON Recruit frontpage.
These are the different types of system notifications:
Standard: A blue box that will appear in the upper right corner. This could be a notification notifying you of system downtime.
Alert: An orange box, shown in the upper right corner. This could alert the users of recruitment freeze in the organization.
Critical: Appears as a larger sized red box on the bottom of the site. This could be used when unexpected site shutdowns happen.
