Navigation:  Schedule updates > Notification mode

If you have activated the update notification, the DataClient starts at the specified time in notification mode. An additional symbol in the Notification Area of the Windows system tray (see picture) indicates the notification mode of the DataClient. In notification mode, the DataClient program window is at first not displayed. It will only be opened when calling up the update installation.

Symbols in the notification area

The DataClient symbol in the notification area of the system tray is only displayed when the time for a notification is reached. It is hidden again if the search found no updates available or when the new updates have been installed.

The symbol in the notification area informs you on the background activities taking place:

Notifications

The DataClient informs the user of new available updates or of an error occurred. If no updates are available at the specified time, the user is not notified.

By clicking the speech bubble, you can trigger different actions:

•If new updates are available, a click on the speech bubble opens the Assistant for the update installation.

•If an error has occurred, a mouse click on the speech bubble opens a dialog window with detailed information on the error.

If the speech bubble is no longer displayed, a double-click on the DataClient icon in the Windows system tray can trigger the same action as a click on the speech bubble.

Context menu

By right-clicking the DataClient symbol in the Windows system tray, you can call further functions:

 

•The first menu item always contains that function which would be triggered by double-clicking the symbol or clicking the speech bubble. Additionally, the first menu item allows you to abort the update check while the check is taking place.

•Settings opens the settings of the function schedule updates.

•Help opens the program help.

•About opens a dialog containing program name, program version, and copyright information.

•Quit closes the DataClient notification mode. If the program window is opened, it will also be closed. Usually, this function is not needed because the notifications mode stops automatically if no new updates are available or when the new updates have been installed. You can use the menu item Exit if you want to abort the update checking taking place in the background or if you don’t want to install the available updates at that point of time.
