Notifications are the things that need your attention, addressed to you. The
[activity log](https://docs.moodiri.com/home-and-activity/activity-log) records everything that happens in the
firm; notifications pick out what you should act on, such as a client answering an
approval or someone mentioning you in chat, and keep track of what you've already
seen.

## What you see here

The **Notifications** page lists your notifications with these columns:
**Notification**, **Type**, **Project**, **Status** and **Date**. Unread ones are
marked **Unread**.

- Choose a notification to open what it's about. Opening it marks it read.
- Choose the status in a row to switch it between read and unread.
- Right-click a row for **Mark as read**, **Mark as unread** and **Open**.
- Type in **Search notifications...** to find one by its text.
- The list shows the first rows; choose **Show more** to load more.

## The notification bell

The bell in the header shows a badge when you have unread notifications. Choose it to
see your latest ten. From there:

- Choose a notification to open it.
- Choose **Mark all read** to clear the badge.
- Choose **Show all** to open the full **Notifications** page.

The **Notifications** card on [Home](https://docs.moodiri.com/home-and-activity/home-dashboard) shows the same
recent notifications.

## Filter by status, type and project

Narrow the list with the filters next to search:

- **Status**: **Unread** or **Read**.
- **Type**: **Invoice**, **Approval**, **Time** or **Mention**.
- **Project**: one project's notifications.

Choose **All statuses**, **All types** or **All projects** to clear a filter.

## Notification preferences (links to Settings › Notifications)

Choose which events notify you in [Settings › Notifications](https://docs.moodiri.com/settings/notifications).
Open it from the user menu: choose **Settings**, then **Notifications**.

## Limits

- The bell loads your latest ten notifications. The full page holds your 200 most recent.
- **Mark all read** is in the bell's dropdown, not on the full page.

## Questions

### How do I get fewer notifications?

Choose which events notify you in [Settings › Notifications](https://docs.moodiri.com/settings/notifications).

### Why does a teammate see notifications I don't?

Notifications are addressed to people, not to the whole firm. A mention, for example, only notifies the person mentioned.
