Troubleshooting

If you are not receiving notifications:

  • Check that the notification type is ticked in the correct module section.

  • Confirm your browser allows notifications or sounds if using toast or sound alerts.

  • Refresh the page and test again.

If in-app notifications are not working:

  • Make sure In-app is enabled.

  • Check the source-level checkbox for the notification type.

  • Look for a confirmation message such as In-app notifications enabled globally.

If sound notifications do not play:

  • Make sure Sound is enabled.

  • Check your browser autoplay settings.

  • Confirm your device volume is not muted.

If Email or Push cannot be selected:

  • These channels may still be marked as Coming soon.

  • Use In-app, Toast, or Sound until they are available.

If settings do not appear to save:

  • Remember that changes save automatically.

  • Refresh the page and check whether your selections remain.

  • Ask an administrator to check your access if settings keep reverting.
