Notifications, notes and what "Seen" does

What it is

Not everything in the Inbox is a decision. A notification is something an agent only wants you to know, such as a customer whose health dropped. A note is a question from a colleague or a short line an agent left for you.

Where to find it

Inbox in the sidebar. Notifications sit in their own group, Notifications, under the cards that need a decision. Notes from agents sit under Notes from your agents.

Clear a notification

  1. Open Inbox and scroll to Notifications.
  2. Read the line. It names the agent and when it was written.
  3. Click the check on the line (Seen). It leaves the Inbox.
  4. To clear the whole group, click Mark all seen.

Answer a colleague's note

  1. A note card says who asks and what it is about.
  2. Click Take it (key T) to take it on, or Dismiss. Remind later puts it aside.

What the words mean

Put asideHidden until the time you chose. It comes back by itself.

Where else Argus tells you things

Settings › Notifications lists the channels: Slack hand-offs, the company's e-mail sending addresses, and what Jarvis watches. You can also link your own Telegram there.

Good to know

  • When only notifications are left, the Inbox says "No decisions waiting".
  • Whoever may decide an agent's approvals may mark its notifications seen.
  • A note older than 14 days that nobody read leaves the Inbox by itself. Notes about security, VIP customers, refunds or legal topics stay, and so does anything assigned to a person.
  • The number on Inbox in the sidebar counts what waits on you.
