On mobile devices, the quick access is marked by a bell symbol.

 An overview opens displaying the latest news and invitations which are stored for you in the system.

Click on a news item or on the arrow behind the notification to access the content directly.

Some notifications will require action from you. For invitations, for example, the buttons Agree and Disagree will show up. System messages can be marked as read via the OK button. Invitations contain a direct link to the corresponding resource so that you can verify it before confirming the invitation.

To close the opened notification area, click again on the selected icon.
