You can view notifications in Axon or receive emails at a regular intervals.

Notifications in Axon

Axon displays notifications in the notification center after you log in. The notification center displays the number of unread notifications on the toolbar. Click the bell icon () on the toolbar to view both new and earlier notifications. The notification center displays information on the Catalog, Roles, Workflow, and Bulk Upload tabs.
The following types of notifications appear in the notification centre:
Catalog
Axon displays notifications on discovered data sets and attributes, recommendations on attribute relationships, creation of attribute relationships, and removal of deleted links. For example, if data sets and attributes are discovered, the notification contains a link to the related glossary. You can click the glossary name to navigate to the glossary object and view the discovered objects.
For attribute relationship recommendations, Axon sends notifications to the data set stakeholders only with the Stewardship Role type.
Roles
You see a notification for all the objects for which you have been assigned a stakeholder role. Click the role title to open the object. You can then click Yes or No to accept or reject the role assignment. You cannot dismiss notifications in the Roles tab.
Workflow
Axon displays a notification when someone raises a change request for an object where you are a stakeholder. You can open the object or the change request from the notification. Click the X button to dismiss the notification.
Bulk Upload
You can see the status of bulk upload tasks.

Notifications via Email

You can choose to receive email notifications if Axon is configured to work with the email system of your organization. You can choose to either receive automated emails based on specific events or on a regular basis. If another Axon user shares a search with you, you are automatically informed of the shared search by email.
You can choose to receive regular emails that inform what is happening in your Axon account. To manage the emails, open the object in the People facet and go to the Activity Stream tab. A SuperAdmin user can configure Axon to send email notifications whenever a task is assigned to the users.
Axon displays the following information in the notification emails:
