🖥 Administration via the Safeguard Dashboard |
It is possible to receive a pop-up notification of a Safeguard alert on a laptop or PC. This can be useful, for example, if you do not have the Safeguard dashboard open in the foreground and an alert is in progress.
To enable this, click on your name at the top right of the screen and then click on 'view profile'.
Your profile appears here. Under 'permissions' you can enable desktop notifications.
When you click on 'enable notifications', a pop-up will appear from the browser.
Click on 'Allow' here and you will receive desktop notifications in the future when a Safeguard alert is made.
If you have declined this notification, you can always enable it later. The steps are almost the same in every browser, but it looks slightly different. Below is the instruction on how to enable this permission.
