Notification Center
The notification center is a combination of pop-up messages that are not modal and don't require user input, and is a place where a list of tasks, errors and warnings can be seen. These messages show notifications, warnings and errors and background tasks.
In this corner, by default, pop-up messages will appear. These messages:
- will contain an icon detailing its critical level (Info, Warning, Assert and Error)
- can be clicked on to immediately hide them and take you to where the error is
- will be, by default, combined into a single pop-up (if they are notifications coming from warnings, asserts and errors)
- can be completely disabled in the preferences panel described below
Shift+left click will hide all current pop ups.
When you click on the button next to the Menu Search window, the Notification Center window appears. This window has three tabs, Current, History and Preferences.
The Notification Center can also be opened by going to Tools → Advanced → Notification Center.
