Notification Log
Overview
Notification Log — Business Overview
The Notification Log is a business record used in Dafater to track all system-generated notifications that are sent to users during daily operations. It acts as a historical register of alerts, reminders, and important messages, ensuring transparency and accountability in business communication.
What the Notification Log Is Used For
The Notification Log records every notification that Dafater sends to users, such as:
- Alerts about task assignments or updates
- Reminders for approvals, deadlines, or follow-ups
- Informational messages triggered by business activities
Its main purpose is to help businesses:
- Ensure that important messages were generated and delivered
- Review past notifications for audit or follow-up purposes
- Understand how and when users were informed about key events
Prerequisites and Setup Requirements
Before the Notification Log becomes useful, the following must be in place: - Active business workflows that generate notifications (approvals, assignments, reminders, etc.) - Defined user roles and responsibilities so notifications reach the right people - Clear business rules for when notifications should be triggered (for example, on submission, approval, or overdue actions)
Once these are set up, the Notification Log is automatically populated as part of normal operations.
Typical Workflow and Business Fit
- A business activity occurs (for example, a document is submitted or a task is assigned).
- Dafater generates a notification based on predefined business rules.
- The notification is sent to the relevant user.
- A record of this notification is saved in the Notification Log.
- Managers or users can later review the Notification Log to confirm that communication took place.
The Notification Log fits into business processes as a background control mechanism—it does not drive actions directly but supports visibility and accountability.
Key Business Scenarios Where It Is Essential
The Notification Log is especially important in:
- Approval-driven processes where proof of notification is needed
- Compliance and audit reviews, showing that users were informed on time
- Dispute resolution, when someone claims they were not notified
- Operational monitoring, helping managers see how communication flows within the organization
Important Considerations for Users
- The Notification Log is for review and tracking, not for sending or editing notifications.
- A notification appearing in the log confirms it was generated, not necessarily that the user acted on it.
- Regular review can help identify gaps in communication or overloaded users.
- It should be used as a support tool for audits, follow-ups, and process improvement—not as a replacement for direct management oversight.
In summary, the Notification Log is a vital business reference that strengthens communication reliability, accountability, and operational transparency across Dafater.
