Configuring Personal Notifications

Liferay provides integrated notification tools, so you can ensure users are alerted to platform events. Users can customize which notifications they receive by enabling email, or website notifications for the desired applications. These settings are global in scope and determine the user’s personal notifications for all sites. To customize individual notifications,

1. Open your Personal Menu and click Notifications.

   

2. Click Options () in the widget header and select Configuration (2).

   

   Note

   Before Liferay DXP 2025.Q1/Portal GA132, the Configuration option appeared in the widget’s top-right corner.

3. Enable or disable notifications for the desired application triggers.

4. Click Save.
