Role required: sn\_dex\_desktop.user or sn\_dex\_desktop.admin

## Procedure

1.  Log in to Desktop Assistant.

    For more information, see [Open and log in to Desktop Assistant](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/digital-end-user-experience-dex/open-desktop-exp.md).

2.  On the Desktop Assistant home page, select the notifications bell icon \[Omitted image "icon-notification-bell.png"\] Alt text:.
