# Notification Count for Pending Tasks

# **Overview**

In [Hub](/studio/docs/unified-hub-experience), end users can use **notification counts**to see how many tasks require their attention. Notification counts helps end users stay aware of pending actions and improve task completion rates.

> [!WARNING]
> Note:
> 
> Hub is a Beta feature. To enable this feature for your account, contact [support@whatfix.com](mailto:support@whatfix.com?subject=Request%20to%20enable%20unified%20Hub%20experience%20&body=Hi%20team%2C%0A%0APlease%20enable%20Hub%20for%20our%20account.%20%0A%0AThanks).

These notification counts are:

- The total count of all **To Do** (pending) tasks
- Visible on every page where Hub is available on page load
- Instantly updated when tasks are completed

Expand the following accordions for more details:

## **Where Notification Counts Appear**

1. #### **Floating Action Button (FAB) Closed State**

A notification count appears on the closed FAB when the user has **one or more pending tasks**.

This enables users to identify pending tasks without interacting with Hub.

1. #### **FAB Notification Open State**

When users hover on the FAB to view its open state, **the Task List icon displays a notification count** indicating the total number of pending tasks.

This ensures users can see pending tasks when choosing between Explorer, Task List, Feedback, and Chatbot tabs.

> [!NOTE]
> Info:
> 
> Hub displays up to 3 icons in the FAB open state in the following priority next to the Pin or FAB Text:
> 
> **Explorer > Task List > Feedback > Chatbot**

1. #### **Task List Tab inside the Hub panel**

When users open the unified Hub panel, the Task List tab also displays a notification count showing the number of **pending tasks**. Users see the same number on the **To Do**status filter.

![task list open and notification counts on icon and filter](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Hub_Task%20List%20Panel_Notification%20counts.png)

This helps users view pending tasks while accessing the Task List tab.

> [!NOTE]
> Info:
> 
> On the FAB (closed and open states) and unified panel, Task List notifications count updates instantly when tasks are completed.

## **How Notification Counts Work**

Notification counts are based on the number of tasks in the **To Do** status. The following actions influence the number displayed:

#### **When a task is completed:**

- The task moves to **Completed**
- The FAB and Task List tab counts update instantly

#### **When a new task becomes available in the same segment:**

- New tasks appears only when users reload the page
- **All** and **To Do**counts increase
- Group counts also update automatically
