11.1 Responding to an invitation notification

Clicking on the bell icon towards the upper right of a Polar Cloud screen will display the list of notifications awaiting your attention; see Figure 11.3.

Figure 11.3 shows a range of some of the possible types of invitations: an invitation to join a group, an invitation to become a manager of a printer, and an invitation to become a user of a printer.

Note that the issuer of an invitation is not explicitly informed of your action on the invitation (in particular, no response notification back to the invitation issuer is generated when you “DECLINE an invitation), though if you do “ACCEPT” an invitation, the issuer will thenceforth see, when looking at a group or printer, that you are a member of the group or have access to the printer.

When you “ACCEPT” an invitation to join a group, see Figure 11.4, a confirmation that you joined will appear and you will have the opportunity to go see the group; see Figure 11.5.

When you “ACCEPT” a printer access invitation, whether that invitation is to become a manager (see Figure 11.7) or a user, a confirmation that you may now access the printer will appear and you will have an opportunity to go directly to that printer’s dashboard; see Figure 11.8.
