View Your Intelligence Central Notifications
When a user publishes an object to Intelligence Central and shares it with you, Toad logs a notification for you. If a user shares a previously-published object with you, a notification is logged for this event as well. You can view your notification when you connect to the Intelligence Central server where the object was published. Notifications are displayed in the Notifications tab in the Object Explorer.
You can view only the notifications for the user name used in the connection. Because objects are not shared with the root user, if you connect as root, the Notifications tab is not visible.
In addition to a notification, you might also receive an email when an object is published and shared with you. The publisher can elect to send an email to all those with which the object is shared. See Publish to Toad Intelligence Central for more information.
