# Turning on Notifications

Validatar can send notifications to users when significant events happen. You can configure notifications by opening your User Profile by:

1. Clicking the user icon in the main menu.
2. Selecting **User Profile**.
3. Selecting **Notifications** from the menu pane.

To receive notifications inside of Validatar, choose **Yes** under **Notify in Validatar**. You will see the number of notifications that haven't been viewed on the bell icon in the main menu bar. **Note:** Currently, notifications do not display screen banners or play a sound. The only visual indication is the notification bell icon.

## Email Notifications

You can also set preferences to receive notifications via email. Set Email Preferences as

- **None** - You don't receive email notifications.
- **Immediate** - You receive a notification as soon as the event happens.
- **Daily Digest** - You receive an email containing all event notifications once daily. The Daily Digest time is configured at a Global Settings level.

Immediate Notifications

Events happening within minutes of each other may be grouped for efficiency, causing delays in immediate email notifications up to 5 minutes.
