## The Dashboard Notifications Panel

The notification menu displays the following alert categories.

- Device Health
- Cloud Health
- Security

The category color changes depending on the health of the category: **Green**: The category is healthy. **Orange**: There are warning alerts. **Red**: There are error alerts. ![Image](https://cdn.document360.io/30792387-cdcb-4791-aa14-94929bbcd3fe/Images/Documentation/image-VAZ06JHV.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T04%3A28%3A59Z&se=2026-11-11T05%3A28%3A59Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=032rRCyRaYJnuHALR8vJ9c02HTcuO9DeUiCllfK7h0A%3D) If a category has both orange and red alerts, the color is red.

You can filter the alerts that are displayed in the **Notifications** panel by clicking the tick marks in the category. ![Image](https://cdn.document360.io/30792387-cdcb-4791-aa14-94929bbcd3fe/Images/Documentation/image-RIA989A4.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T04%3A28%3A59Z&se=2026-11-11T05%3A28%3A59Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=032rRCyRaYJnuHALR8vJ9c02HTcuO9DeUiCllfK7h0A%3D)

### Hiding and Unhiding Alerts

You can hide alerts that you do not want to handle by clicking the arrow to the right of the alert and in the **Details** window that is displayed checking **Hide Notification** and then clicking **OK**. ![Image](https://cdn.document360.io/30792387-cdcb-4791-aa14-94929bbcd3fe/Images/Documentation/image-PWDXRZ11.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T04%3A28%3A59Z&se=2026-11-11T05%3A28%3A59Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=032rRCyRaYJnuHALR8vJ9c02HTcuO9DeUiCllfK7h0A%3D)

**Note**

Where the alert can be fixed within the user interface, the **Details** window include a link, **click here** to the location in the user interface where the issue can be fixed.
