How To
Notifications
Where strackt tells you what's happening — the notification panel, live progress, and how to keep it tidy.
Notifications
strackt keeps you posted through the bell in the corner of every page. When something happens — a deploy finishes, a server needs attention, a change is applied — it shows up here. A small badge on the bell counts what you haven't read yet.
Click the bell to open the notification panel. New notifications arrive on their own, with a brief pop-up toast, so you don't need to refresh to stay current.
Mine, Team, and All
The panel splits notifications into three tabs:
- Mine — things sent directly to you.
- Team — things sent to your whole team, that any member can see.
- All — both together.
The badge on the bell is the total you haven't read; the panel header breaks it down into yours and your team's.
Running now
When you kick off something that takes a while — a deploy, a server install, a restore, a configuration update — a Running now section appears at the top of the panel with a live progress bar for each one. Where strackt can measure real progress, the bar fills as the work advances; where it can't, you'll see a moving bar and a short label confirming it's still going. A small dot on the bell pulses whenever something is running, so you can tell at a glance without opening the panel.
These rows are just for keeping an eye on things — when an operation finishes, its row briefly marks done and clears, and a normal notification stays in the list below.
Keeping it tidy
- Mark all read clears the unread badge in one click.
- Mark one read — open a single notification to mark just that one.
You don't have to clean up by hand. Notifications you've read are removed automatically after 90 days; ones you never read are kept longer, up to a year, before they're cleared.
