## System Status Notifications

At log in to the Lucidum system, if data ingestion is running, actions are running, SmartLabels are processing, or Lucidum is updating the database, you will see a system notification in a popup. Lucidum checks for these processes every five minutes.

After seeing a system notification, Lucidum will check every one minute until the process is completed.

## Notifications Icon

Lucidum includes a persistent Bell icon in the upper right of each screen. If a number appears next to the Bell icon, click on the icon to see Notifications.
