Workspace Notifications ...starts at slide 3 These types of notifications appear on your workspace and indicate how many messages have been left in various flows.

- 13. Detailed look at Workspace notifications If a user leaves a message in a flow, all persons using that flow will receive a notification. It will either be Blue, Red, or @Red Blue If a message is left in a flow, all persons using that flow will receive a blue notification. Red If you type a person(s) name in the message, those person(s) will receive a red notification and everyone else using the flow will receive a blue notification. For example: Were meeting with Mike and Lisa tomorrow at 9am. In this example, Mike and Lisa will receive red notifications and everyone else using the flow will receive blue notifications. This type of tagging can be used to indicate that a message is important, but not mission critical. @Red If you type the @ symbol before a person(s) name in a message, those person(s) will receive an @Red notification and everyone else using the flow will receive a blue notification. For example: @Mike and @Lisa, please meet with us tomorrow at 9am. In this example, Mike and Lisa will receive @red notifications and everyone else using the flow will receive blue notifications. This type of tagging is useful when the message is very urgent for a particular person(s) to read.
