Configure the expiration time for Push Notifications by adding the following key in the App.config file:
<add key="PushNotificationExpInSec" value="300"/>
Add the expiration time in seconds inside the "" in the Key.
Example:
Set the Push Notification expiry time as “5" mins” that is “300” seconds and configure the job to send web notification for every 2 mins. Now, the web notification expires in 7 mins.
Considering Push Notifications are configured whenever an Incident is logged, if an Incident is raised at 10:00 AM, and the configured recipient is offline (the system is shut down or the browser is closed), the notification will be displayed as follows:
- If the user comes online and opens the browser at 10:07 AM, the Push Notification is displayed.
- If the user comes online and opens the browser at 10:15 AM, no Push Notification is displayed.
