Viewerhelp:Notifications

This article is ready for technical review.

Notifications alert you to different kinds of interesting events. There are two notification icons at the bottom of the Viewer window:

Conversations

Instant Messages, abbreviated as IMs, which is text chat received from other Residents and groups. Each distinct IM session also appears to the left of Conversations, indicated by a thumbnail of a Resident's profile or group's insignia.

Notifications

All other notifications, such as an inventory delivery after you've bought an item, or when an object's been returned from a parcel to you. Some notifications have special thumbnails which appear to the left of the notifications icons: for example, a received object is shown as a cube.

To prevent clutter, notifications appear briefly, then are hidden until you click Conversations or Notifications. This functions similarly to notification systems like the Windows Tray and Growl. Then, click a notification in the queue to view it in full. Also, a notification count is shown layered over each icon.

Close Notification

Removes a conversation or notification from its respective queue.

If you want to close all notifications, right-click Conversations or Notifications and choose Close All.
