Note:

The Push Notifications work only with HTTPS with DNS Entry. However, it does not work with hosted server IP address. You must have an active internet connection to receive the notification in the browser. Push Notifications do not work in browser private window. The “Secure Origins” must have any of these patterns: (https, *, *), (*, localhost, *). Localhost (*, localhost, *) is only applicable to use Push Notifications functionality locally in the server.

Field Description

The following table describes the fields on the PUSH NOTIFICATION page:

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.
