Process notifications keep you informed about the status of background operations in Encord, including data exports, model training, inference jobs, and dataset processing tasks. You’ll receive real-time updates as these processes complete, fail, or require your attention.

​

Overview

The notification system provides:

• Real-time status updates for all background processes
• Visual indicators showing process completion, errors, or ongoing work
• Detailed progress information including duration, item counts, and error details
• Quick access to results like downloadable exports
• Persistent notification history so you never miss important updates
• Version update alerts when a new version of Encord is available

​

How to view process notifications

​

Notification types

​

Export notifications

Track data exports from your projects, including:

• Dataset exports in various formats (COCO, YOLO, etc.)
• Annotation exports with labels and metadata
• Model prediction exports from inference runs

Export notifications include a download button when the export is ready.

​

Model operations

Monitor machine learning workflows:

• Training jobs with epoch progress and model metrics
• Inference runs showing processing status and device information
• Model evaluation results and performance data

​

Data processing

Stay updated on data operations:

• Dataset creation from external sources
• Video re-encoding for compatibility
• Data validation and quality checks

​

Version updates

Receive alerts when new versions of Encord are available:

• Automatic detection of new releases
• Persistent notification in the bottom-right corner
• One-click reload to update to the latest version

​

Status indicators

Process notifications use clear visual indicators:

• Green checkmark: Process completed successfully
• Red X: Process was unsuccessful with an error
• Spinning indicator: Process is currently running
• Progress information: Shows completion percentage or current step

​

Managing notifications

​

Automatic updates

Notifications refresh automatically while the panel is open, so you see real-time progress without manual refreshing. Version checks occur every minute and immediately when you return to the Encord tab.

​

Notification history

All notifications remain accessible in your history, allowing you to:

• Review past operations and their results
• Download exports from previous sessions
• Check error details for failed processes

​

Error handling

When processes fail, notifications provide:

• Clear error descriptions
• Troubleshooting information when available
• Contact information for support if needed

​

Version update handling

When a new version is detected:

• A persistent notification appears in the bottom-right corner
• The notification includes a Reload now button for immediate updates
• Version checking stops once an update is detected to avoid repeated notifications

​

Troubleshooting

​

Notifications not updating

If you do not see expected updates:

• Refresh the notification panel by closing and reopening it
• Check your internet connection for real-time updates
• Contact support if processes appear stuck

​

Download issues

If export downloads are unsuccessful:

• Ensure your browser allows downloads from Encord
• Check that the export process completed successfully
• Try the download again after a few moments

​

Missing notifications

If you cannot find expected notifications:

• Scroll down to load older notifications
• Check that the process started successfully
• Verify you have the necessary permissions for the operation

​

Version update issues

If you do not see version update notifications when expected:

• Ensure you have a stable internet connection
• Return to the Encord tab if you have been away for an extended period
• Refresh the page manually if automatic detection is not working
