Working With Notifications (Desktop)

Prev Next

The Notifications screen is where a user can see any changes made to a Scaffold or Request that they have selected to “watch”. It is a vital tool in tracking what changes have been made to the Scaffolds or Requests on your job site.

Users also have the ability to "watch" Scaffolds or Requests so that they receive a notification in ScaffoldIQ whenever there is a change to the Request or Scaffold. The Notifications screen provides an overview of these watched Requests or Scaffolds.

For more information on "watching" Scaffolds, please visit the Watching a Request/Scaffold or Activity guide.

Note: You can double-click on the notification in the table to view the Activity, Scaffold, or Request details where you can complete the required task or view the change that was made.
