23. Notifications
The notification mechanism is partly built into the Perspectives Distributed Runtime, partly modelled in model:System.
case ContextWithNotification
thing Notifications (relational)
property Message (String)
user NotifiedUser
perspective on Notifications
action DeleteNotifications
delete role Notifications
Add ContextWithNotification as an Aspect to a context that you model to receive notifications. It adds the role Notifications and the InPlace graphical user interface has a place to show them.
Actually, this place is visible only when you visit the context itself. Nevertheless, when a notification is generated, it will appear as a notification on screen, using the operating system notification mechanism.
