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 center:
- Catalog

For example, if data sets and attributes are discovered, the notification contains a link to the related glossary.

- For attribute relationship recommendations, Axon sends notifications to the data set stakeholders only with the Stewardship Role type.

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:
- •Updates about removal of links from Enterprise Data Catalog.
- •Role acceptances awaiting approval.
- •Pending workflow actions. Includes discussions that you are part of and you have not yet contributed to.
- •A summary of changes that a user has made to an object where you are either the stakeholder or a follower. If you are part of a change request where you have been assigned a role, the content of the notification email can vary based on whether the role is included in the underlying workflow.
