# Smile App - Viewing & Managing Notifications

# Smile App - Viewing & Managing Notifications

The Xap Smile app for Guardians will allow you to view **notifications** from your childcare service. 

Some of these notifications you may receive include:
* Your child was signed in/out/absent by a staff member or nominee
* You have expiring medical documents that need to be updated
* Change of bookings has been added
* Approved or rejected casual/recurring booking patterns
* Secondary Guardian or staff have updated details of your family
* Activities have been published for your child
* Medication has been logged or administered for your child, to allow you to authorise

Once a notification has been sent through for your Child, you will receive this to your device that has the Smile App installed.

### Managing Notifications, you receive

|| Note: If you manage the notifications in either the portal or app, this will automatically adjust the notifications for both.

1. Select the **Notifications** bell
2. Select the **Settings cog** icon
