The Notification System allows you to completely manage all of your notification messages. Using the various screens, you can retrieve archived messages, manage any queued messages with errors, create or modify notification templates, search and view the notification templates set up for your institution, manually re-queue messages, and so much more.
Note: If your institution used the alert system, you will need to have institution option UNST (Use Notification System) set up in order to transfer alerts and messages over to using the Notification system.
