How to create Notification part as an Extension for Dynamics NAV?

Hi Readers, I’m back with another blog on Extensions.

Introduction:

Notification has become very import part of our RoleCenters in Dynamics NAV. We get notified by emails or a note if our Job queues fail or some note send from a fellow employee but…… Notification is a System part hence its not visible if you use a web client i.e its a limitation of the web client.

The good news is we can customise it. Yay!
