Notifications

Desktop notifications, the sound they arrive with, and the three kinds of notification you can turn off. These settings are yours alone.

Notifications is the one screen in Finance settings that changes nothing for anybody else. It is your own preference for how and when Finance interrupts you, and a colleague's answer can be different.

Go to SettingsFinanceNotifications. Two tabs: General and Notification Types.

General

Desktop and Sound holds two switches.

The General tab of Notifications, headed General above the line Choose how and when you're notified across the app and your desktop. A DESKTOP & SOUND section holds Desktop Notifications turned on, described as Receive browser notifications when you're not looking at this tab, and Notification Sound turned on, described as Play a sound when new notifications arrive. A CHOOSE A SOUND list offers Default (selected), Gentle Chime, Bright Ping and Digital Pulse, each with a play control. A blue Send Test Notification button sits below, above the line Sends a test browser notification and plays the notification sound so you can preview how it works.
Each sound has a play control, so you can hear one without waiting for a real notification.
