The following screen fields and controls are defined, where not documented they are considered self explanatory or are explained elsewhere:

Field/ Control	Explanation/ Use
Description	Notification Description
Type	Notification Type
Priority	Notification Priority
Activity Type	Notification Activity Type Note that: This functionality was introduced in SP13 and requires that an SAP enhancement option has been activity and a SAP Note applied as appropriate. See https://blueworx.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/19000127128-11-sap-notes for additional details on this  SAP provides no limits for Notification Type to Activity Type - therefore users can select Activities which are not assigned to Order Types. When creating an Order from a Notification, if the Notification Activity is allowed then it will be applied, if it is not then it will be blanked out and require User selection.
Reference field	Displayed where the Notification has been parked it allows for users to store a reference from an asset when offline (for example a serial or asset tag number), so they can search SAP to get the FL or Equipment when online. Note that the field can be populated using bar or QR codes when used on a mobile device.
