Notifications
Notification is an object used to notify the user about activities related to profiles that have been added to watchlists.
Notification is automatically generated when OMNI Platform receives activity that satisfies the trigger condition. For a certain watchlist this condition is as follows: the biometric data of received activity match the biometric data of a profile from this watchlist.
To provide auto-generation of notifications, follow the steps below:
- Create a profile and a watchlist.
- Add the profile to the created watchlist.
- Attach a trigger to the watchlist.
- Attach an endpoint to the trigger.
As a result, when a person from this watchlist is detected by OMNI Agent, you'll receive an instant notification on this event.
If a notification is generated, but you don't receive pop-up, email or webhook notifications, make sure that a trigger has an endpoint attached.
Pop-up notifications
Pop-up notification is a pop-up window at lower right side of the dashboard that shows brief information about the notification: photo (or profile avatar if OMNI Agent was in anonymous mode), profile name, OMNI Agent and watchlist. This notification lasts for 30 seconds, then disappears. By clicking on the pop-up notification itself, you'll be redirected to Notifications page.
View notifications
To view the existing notifications, open Notifications page via the side menu.
Dashboard displays notifications in two ways: table view and tile view. To switch the view, just click on View button at the top right side of Notifications page. The active View button will be highlighted.
Displayed notification data:
- Images of body and face taken from the activity and profile avatar. The images of body and face from the activity are shown if the images of sufficient quality are taken. The possible reasons for image missing: OMNI Agent works in the anonymous mode or the person's face or body did not get into the frame.
- Watchlist name
- Agent name
- Description (only for tile view)
- Icons of endpoints where the notification was sent to (only for table view)
- Button to mark notifications as read
- Creation date
Automatic update
When multiple OMNI Agents work simultaneously, new objects can be created by the system too often, so they can hinder interactions with previously created objects. In this case you can disable automatic data update.
To disable automatic update, click the toggle button in the header of Notifications page.
If auto-update is disabled, when a notification is created, a line will appear with a message like "You have () new notifications. Click to update".
Click this line and the system will upload all new data. Automatic update can be enabled by clicking a toggle button or just by updating the page.
