# Notification Centre

The Notification Centre is one place where you can see everything happening in your school in real time — new sign-ups, payments, reported absences, and more. Instead of checking each section separately, important events come straight to you.

## How to open the Notification Centre

Click the bell icon in the top-right corner of the screen. The red number next to it shows how many notifications you haven't seen yet.

## What notifications you'll receive

The Notification Centre keeps you informed about, among others:

* **Payments** — a client made a payment
* **Sign-ups** — a new client signed up for classes, a camp, or an event
* **Registration** — a client, instructor, or receptionist created an account in ActiveNow
* **Client activity** — a client reported an absence, signed up for a make-up class, or updated their details
* **Automation** — an automatic payment or make-up reminder was sent, or an automated email failed to deliver
* **Group size limit** — the participant limit for a group was exceeded

## Filtering notifications

If you're looking for a specific event, click *Filters* and narrow down the list by notification type or date range.
