How do I enable Push Notifications for SmartMAP on Windows?

If SmartMAP Push Notifications have been set up for your department, then enabling the notifications is very simple. 

To enable notifications, simply navigate to SmartMAP using your browser. Upon opening SmartMAP, you will be presented with a pop-up asking you to allow notifications. Click Allow. The Notifications Enabled icon in the SmartMAP menu will change from  to .

At this point, notifications from CAD are set up. The browser has to be running in order to receive notifications, but it does not have to be on SmartMAP. Notifications that disappear due to system timeout will be in the Action Center.

In Windows 10. notification timeout can be adjusted in Settings > Ease of Access > Display, or by opening up Settings and searching "Choose how long notifications are shown".

In Windows 11, you can find these settings in Settings > Accessibility > Visual effects, or by opening up Settings and searching "notifications timeout after". 

Should you run into issues enabling SmartMAP desktop notifications, please see Troubleshooting - SmartMAP Windows Push Notifications, or contact APX for assistance.
