Your notifications

- Your profile opens. Unread notifications are listed under Notifications.
- Select a notification to open it. It is then marked as read.
If you have no unread notifications, you see No new notifications. Select Show all notifications to see older ones too.

Office announcements
Announcements are messages your office administrator places on the home screen. They appear at the top of the home screen for the selected day. You cannot dismiss them.
- A closure day is shown as a warning. The office is closed: you cannot book, and lunch and the attendance overview are hidden. In the date bar the day is faded.
- Other announcements are shown as information.
