Snippets's application-wide notification services can be configured in two different ways. Agents can either display a glyph (graphical symbol) when new content is available or gray-out when content is stale (i.e. has already been viewed).

Glyph highlights new content in West Region Sales Agent

Gray-out signifies stale content in Central, East Region Sales Agents

Agent-specific notification thresholds
The Java code that defines an Agent can present the user with specific thresholds that can be used to trigger alerts. In this sample Agent, the user can specify the "Yield Setpoint" for a particular part number in inventory.

Custom graphics have been added to the Agent to highlight whether or not the Yield Setpoint has successfully been met.

To test this feature yourself, download the Snippets Demo Edition and right-click the Acme Demo Agent after installation to change the settings.
