Introduction

Notification is an efficient way of alerting the user about tasks that require prompt action or attention such as workflow tasks.
In SAP Fiori Launchpad you can click on the Bell icon to access Notifications.

  • You can Close or Dismiss, Navigate to the Action item (e.g. My Inbox for Workflow Task), or perform Action (e.g. Approve, Reject, etc).
  • Notifications are grouped by Date, Type, and Priority.
  • Notification List Items have properties:
    • Image, Priority, Title, Action, Operation, Subtitle, Author/Source, Timestamp, Show/Hide (Show More, Show Less)

Notification Channel Concept

The Notification channel is a framework that helps applications push/send notifications to end users.

There are three concepts to understand when activating notifications:

  • Notification Center – the area in the Fiori Launchpad where notifications are displayed
  • Notification Hub – Collects notifications to be shown in the Notification Center
  • Notification Provider – Provides notification content to the Notification Hub
