View the To-Do alerts

If the administrator has set To-Do alerts for you, the To-Do Alerts floating window appears on the top immediately after you log in. To view all the To-Do alerts in a Service Manager session, click the alerts icon to open the To-Do Alerts window.

The language of To-Do alert list refers to the operator's preferred language (the Language settings in the operator record). However, the login language is also referred when the operator logs in to the system. If the login language and operator's language setting are not the same value, there might be two different languages displayed in the To-Do alert list.
The To-Do alerts feature is disabled for the users who log in to Service Manager ESS portal.
