# RedOffice - Windows Notification Centre vs RedOffice Native Notifications

## You can now select between Windows notification centre notifications or RedOffice's native notifications.

**RedOffice client configuration item in settings dialog.**

Document notifications display using:

- Windows: Use Windows action centre toast notifications (the default and what was used previously).
- RedOffice: Use its own notification pop up (same as the background process notification - now also enabled by default).
- None: Do not show any notification. User will need to check Drawer.

If the settings dialog is shown from Drawer then it will include a "Test" link to show the effect of the change. This is only available from Drawer as it is Drawer that implements this notification.

The setting is saved in the users "%appdata%\\RedOffice\\RedOffice.config".

To roll this out to all users as part of an install distribution, add the setting "Notifications=RedOffice" to the default RedOffice.config copied to the install target of the MSI (32-bit install "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Redman Solutions\\RedOffice" or 64-bit install "C:\\Program Files\\Redman Solutions\\RedOffice").
