Notification Center icon  image-20240724-100327.png  is displayed if the taskbar and taskbar system tray are activated (User Interface > Desktop > Taskbar and Taskbar Items; both are enabled by default).


If you do not want to see floating notifications, you can activate the Do not disturb function.


In the Notification Center, you can see

  • Update notifications prompting the user to reboot the device to complete the app installation. The device will be restarted automatically if the user will not react within 60 seconds; this timeout can be changed under System > Update > Timeout for automatical reboot in seconds.

If you do not want the user to see the update notifications, check the settings under System > Update > Action after app activation. See Update - App Update Settings in IGEL OS 12.

Note: The update notification is different if you have configured the background app update, see How to Configure the Background App Update in the IGEL UMS Web App.

  • EULA notifications if the End User Licence Agreement has to be accepted. When this may be necessary is described under Accepting EULA in the UMS.

  • Messages sent by the UMS administrator

  • Warnings, e.g. about license expiration, and errors

  • Other notifications, e.g. about a new configuration the system has received
