Using the notification bell

Last updated May 2026 · 2 min read

The notification bell in the top navigation bar is your real-time alert centre.

The unread badge

A red badge on the bell shows the number of unread notifications. It updates in real time — when a new notification arrives, the count increments without you needing to refresh.

Opening the dropdown

Click the bell to open the notification dropdown. Notifications are grouped into Today, Yesterday, and Earlier. Each shows a type icon, message, and relative timestamp.

Marking notifications read

  • Click the checkmark on any notification to mark it as read individually
  • Use "Mark all read" to clear all unread notifications at once

Navigating from a notification

Clicking a notification takes you directly to the relevant page — a booking notification opens that booking, an invoice notification opens the invoice, and so on.
