Understanding Alerts & Notifications in Dash

Alerts and notifications in Dash help you stay ahead of compliance requirements, upcoming expirations, and important updates—without having to hunt for issues manually. Think of this page as your early-warning system for anything that may need attention now or in the future.

Alerts and notifications in Dash are powered by the same alerts engine used in the current portal, so you’ll see familiar information presented in a more streamlined, action-oriented experience.

Understanding the Alerts Dashboard

The Alerts Dashboard is your centralized view of everything that needs your attention. It’s designed to help you quickly answer two key questions:

Do I need to take action?

Is this impacting compliance now or later?

To make that easier, the dashboard is split into two categories: 

Type What it means What you should do
Notifications Informational updates that don’t impact compliance Review and dismiss when acknowledged
Alerts Items that require action now or in the future Open, review details, and take action

Notifications

Notifications are informational only and do not require action. Because of this, they can be bulk dismissed once you’ve reviewed them.

Alerts

Alerts indicate something that either:

  • Is already impacting compliance, or

  • Will impact compliance if it’s not addressed by a certain date

These items are meant to guide you toward resolution before issues escalate.


What happens when you open an alert? 

Clicking an alert opens a slide-out panel with everything you need to understand and resolve it—without losing your place.

Each alert slide-out includes:

 

Descriptive titles and summaries that explain what the alert means and why it matters: 

 

Standardized action sets with clear explanations to guide you through resolution options, like running a query, uploading a file, or snoozing the alert for later:  

 

Navigation controls to move between alerts without closing the panel

 

Quick access to employee information, making it easy to contact or update records if needed:

Once an alert is resolved, it disappears from the list immediately and moves to Completed Alerts, helping keep your dashboard focused only on what still needs attention. 


How Customers Use Alerts Day to Day

Many customers make the Alerts Dashboard their starting point when logging into Dash:

  • Review new alerts that require action

  • Acknowledge and dismiss notifications

  • Return later knowing Dash is continuously monitoring for what’s next

This helps teams stay proactive, organized, and confident heading into audits or inspections.
