Question: Which popups pop up? And when? And where? And why? And for whom?

oh, hai :waving_hand:

//edit: consider i am using the newest version 2025.2 enterprise deployed as a container

i would like to ask for guidance concerning the popping up of popups.

popups pop up at different places … for example this one:
grafik

They are “removable” by clicking the (not shown) x … but they pop up sometime later again. Some. Not always maybe? And, by reading the below-mentioned other post, i remember that not all popups are shown to every user-role :thinking:

I do not want to further inspect this crimescene myself … therefore i ask …

  • I found the abovementioned popup,
  • i found one popup for “nonexistant devops-config”(?) (i already posted a question some time ago concerning a different one),
  • i see another popup like this:
    grafik

Are there more? How can i configure the enablement of each one?

I hope this is constructively answerable? :nerd_face: :sweat_smile:

cheers
Daniel

Hi Daniel!

I’m not 100% sure I understand your question… sorry if I answer off-topic!

Is it about configuring when (and for whom) these various messages appear?

If that’s the case, they are all independent from each other. There is no centralized “notification management”. I think none are configurable (they each have a very specific behavior), but there might be exceptions.

If you have a specific request (one specific message is too noisy, for instance), we’d be happy to hear it!

Hi @Jeremy_Davis , thank you for chiming in! :+1:

Actually, i think you understood my intent quite well. I would like to be the steward of which “advertisements” get shown to my users.

I have not had a very deep thought process about that … thats why i asked for configurability … so that i can define actions later. It wouldn’t necessarily be smth like a “notification management”-ux … but i definitely would like to be able to en-/disable (each?) specific popup.

My thought process is already yet quite shallow concerning this topic … the most simple solution would be some kind of serverwide boolean setting for each possible popup.

And is it already clear what my used phrase “popup” targets?

My two examples are both rater static … what about the “popup” that shows when there were errors in the last scan and “click here to find out”? that would be something i want … but is that a popup?

I am sorry if my style of writing might be rather confusing to read … it is like my braindump converted to text :zany_face:

My primary reason to start all this fuzz is the following: You decided to create somethingsomething AI and you decided to advertise it via popups. I disabled the ai-settings in the administrative settings, but still see advertisements popping up.

So i want them to “be gone”, too. And that started the more abstract train of thought about general configurability :slight_smile:

//edit:

The one example, mentioned above, about ai-stuff :nerd_face: Reason was already given earlier in this post :blush:

*cough * :waving_hand:

tbf, you only mentioned you’d be happy to hear about it … but … replying would be nice, too :slight_smile:

Hi,

I’ve flagged this for the product managers since it’s less the complaint about flaky functionality I initially thought it was and more a request for new functionality.

Hello Daniel,

Thanks for the feedback. I see two parts to this:

  1. To have an option to decide and set which popup/info messages are shown to the users as an administrator.
  2. To use optimal channel for differnt messaging.

With our UX experts, we will evaluate, what improvement can be made on these.
At the moment, there is no schedule we can share but, I will share here if I have an update later.

hello @vivek.reghunath and thank you for your reply!

just as additional thoughts:

  • as a user i, currently, cannot discern if i see the info “as an user” or “as an admin” … maybe this might be transmissible by using some kind of icon when admin-info? (iirc, colin had replied to me “some” weeks (hah, more like 20 month already, and not colin :grimacing:)earlier already, concerning the visibility, and that only admins see these infos(?!) … but i am not sure if i recall that right)
  • if only the admin role has to deal with those infos, the impact is much smaller (in my view, as the admins normally can better deal with the consequences/decisions/impulses)
  • if there are infos which are displayed only for users (which, i think, is currently not the case, right?), it would be good to be able to see them too (as an admin)
  • fyi, my first check was as follows: look for properties with popup in “key” in the admin-interface like this:

Hi @daniel ,

Thank you for providing such detailed feedback! We are looking at the banner/popup situation. We don’t have any firm plans, but this is on our radar and your view is very much appreciated.
