While vPro can display simple in-system notifications (sometimes called toasters), we realize you don't always have your browser up and focused on our site all day. To help keep users aware of important events, vPro will now ask for permission to push notifications to your browser. This in turn lets your operating system pop up a notification when chosen events occur. The three supported browsers of Chrome, Firefox, and Edge will handle these slightly differently, but all will allow you to know something important happened or requires your attention in vPro.
Most users will have no issues simply logging in and accepting the request to push notifications:
Once enabled, they just pop up!
Should anyone initially deny this permission, you can always re-ask through your user settings and the "Notifications" tab.

Firefox:
Edge:
Chrome:
There may be some locations where IT has settings like these more locked-down. You may even need to reach out to your internal IT department should you not have access permissions on your machine or browser.
