Toast Notifications

Toast Notifications are notification windows displayed briefly on the screen to alert you of a condition, before disappearing automatically without requiring any operator input.

Starting

You restrict operator access to activities within a program using the Operator Maintenance program.

Controls whether an operator can customize task dialogs and show dialogs with single buttons as auto-expiring messages (i.e. toast notifications).

This must be enabled if you are not customizing at role level.

Solving

  1. From the Setup Options program load the System-Wide Personalization System Setup form (Setup Options > System Setup > System-Wide Personalization).

  2. Switch on the Enable Toast Notifications option.

Using

  • Although toast notifications can't be customized in the traditional sense of the word, you can set a delay time to keep the notification displayed on screen and you can configure it to close once you start typing.

  • If the message contains a colon character (:) it is treated as a data notification.

    You can view the last 20 data notifications by selecting the Notification icon from the SYSPRO Ribbon bar.
