Set up Notifications in ACS Financial Suite
Before a notification displays at Startup (or in Advanced Tools > Admin Utilities > Notifications), you must set it up and activate it.
You can activate notifications for importing HeadMaster transactions, when scheduled Accounts Payable invoices are due, or when scheduled General Ledger transactions are due.
You can also change the date that you need to perform the action, assign a different priority, or change the status of the notification to alert other users that an action is occurring.
When you set up and activate a notification, the tasks display when you log into the ACS Financial Suite, and you can click Run to complete them. You can also edit the notification's schedule properties, type, description, owner, and due-within timeframe.
In addition, a user can take ownership of the notification. The first time that a notification displays, all users receive it when they log in to the ACS Financial Suite. Users who are responsible for importing the HeadMaster transactions can edit the notification and take ownership.
Once a user owns a notification, only that user sees the notification when logging in to the ACS Financial Suite.
