 In-app only: push notifications are unchanged
Notifications are in-app only. Your push notifications arrive exactly as they did before.
Think of this as a running record inside the app, so a notification is always there when you come back to it. At this stage, notifications cover work orders.
Turn on the Notification Center before November 10th, 2026 (Admin Center)
  Open Admin Center → Release Updates
Go to Admin Center > Release Updates.
  Enable Happy Property Notification Center
Enable Happy Property Notification Center. The Notification Center becomes available for your users.
 Tip
Once enabled, the feature is available to your team on next HPMA sync.

Find your notifications in HPMA
  Look for the bell icon next to your avatar
A bell icon appears next to your avatar. When you have a notification, a red badge appears on the bell.
  Tap the bell
Your notifications list opens. It shows all of your notifications, plus a separate list for unread notifications only.
 Tip
Unread notifications show on a white background with a purple dot over the icon.
Open a notification in HPMA
-
Tap a notification
HPMA goes straight to the work order it relates to. TipOpening a notification this way marks it as read.
| Task type | Screen that opens |
|---|---|
| Regular work order (no purpose) | The work order's main screen |
| Compliance record | The compliance record screen |
| Inventory capture | The work order's main screen. Tap Start to begin capturing. |
 Same screen as your work list
Tapping a notification opens the same screen you'd get by tapping the task in your work list. This works the same from the notification list, a push notification, or a banner that appears while the app is open.
Tapping Back returns you to your notifications, or to the home screen if you came from a push.

What happens when I dismiss a notification?
It's deleted from your device. To clear several at once, use Dismiss all from the overflow menu.
How do I mark something as unread again?

Where do I change my notification settings?
In HappyCo Manage. See the Notification Center (Happy Property Desktop) help article.
