**The Red Dot Indicator**

You'll see a bell icon at the top right. When there's new activity since your last login, a **red dot** appears on this icon.

**To view your notifications:**

1. Click the bell icon with the red dot
2. This opens two feeds:
   * **Notification Feed** - Shows recent activity and updates
   * **Task Feed** - Shows items requiring your attention

**What triggers notifications:**

* New applicant registrations
* Application submissions
* Assessment completions
* System updates requiring action
* Messages from applicants
* Tasks assigned to you by other Admin
