How to View Required Reading Notifications
- Upon logging into Documoto Library, select the notification title in the ‘Required Reading’ modal.

- Once the notification has been viewed, and any attachment(s) opened, the notification status will be updated to a green checkbox.

Required Reading Notifications
Required Reading notifications are critical announcements that must be viewed and any attachment(s) opened.
If you do not open the attachment(s), related link(s), or media item(s) in ‘Required Reading’ notification, the Required Reading notification will be considered unread.
If the Required Reading notification is not opened upon login, the user will continue to be notified each time they login that there is a critical, unread Required Reading notification. Furthermore, a red indicator will remain to right of the Account drop-down
until the notification is viewed and any attachment(s) opened.
