How AeroTrack keeps you informed without checking.

What You’ll Learn

The Scenario

It’s Monday morning. The admin opens AeroTrack and the bell shows 4 new notifications: a work order completed by MRO, a flight log pending approval, an MEL deadline approaching, and goods received in stores. Meanwhile, the reminders page flags 3 licences expiring this month and 2 overdue calibrations — all before the first coffee.

Step 1 — The Notification Bell

The notification bell sits in the header on every page. A red badge shows your unread count. You never have to navigate somewhere to check — alerts come to you.

Step 2 — Notification Dropdown

Click the bell to open the notification panel. It shows your most recent notifications with type, timestamp, and a direct link to the relevant item. Click any notification to jump straight to it.

For a complete view, open the full notifications page. Filter by type, search by keyword, and see read/unread status for every alert.

Step 4 — Trigger #1: Work Order Received

When CAMO sends a work order to the MRO-145 shop (status → RECEIVED_145), the MRO engineer gets an instant notification: “New work order received: WO-2026-089”

Notification: work order received by MRO

Step 5 — Trigger #2: Work Order Rejected

If MRO rejects a work order (status → REJECTED_145), the CAMO engineer and admin are notified to review and resubmit.

Notification: work order rejected

Step 6 — Trigger #3: Work Order Completed

When MRO marks a work order as COMPLETED, the CAMO engineer and admin know it’s ready for review and closure.

Notification: work order completed

Step 7 — Trigger #4: Flight Log Pending

A submitted flight log triggers a notification to admin and super_admin for verification and approval.

Notification: flight log pending verification

Step 8 — Trigger #5: Finding Raised

When Quality Assurance raises a new finding, the CAMO engineer and admin are alerted with the severity and finding number.

Notification: quality finding raised

Step 9 — Trigger #6: MEL Deadline Approaching

When a deferred MEL item approaches its rectification deadline, admin and super_admin are warned with the MEL category and expiry date.

Step 10 — Trigger #7: Goods Receipt Ready

After goods receipt inspection, admin, super_admin, and store manager are notified that items are ready for putaway.

Step 14 — Complete

Notifications and reminders work together to keep your operation running smoothly. Notifications alert you to events in real time — 7 triggers covering work orders, flight logs, quality findings, MEL deadlines, and goods receipts. Reminders catch everything else — expiring licences, overdue calibrations, low stock, and upcoming inspections. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Notifications and reminders — the complete safety net
