Articles - Links widget

The Not symbol indicates that you have notifications disabled for that article collection.  If you click Manage Notifications, you will presented with the notification options that are available.  If any are selected, the symbol will change once saved.  The intent of presenting it this way was to make it clearer what exactly you are subscribing too and what notifications you should expect to receive.  Other applications have a simpler on/off toggle, but don't provide any indication of what that means.

Thank you! That's interesting. To me, seeing a "no" symbol by something might mean it's something I shouldn't click on, or it's disabled; we often use this image various settings to indicate (no, don't do this). Also, it looks like a simple text link rather than a blue button (as the format used in the other apps on Verint Community). So the average user might 1) not recognize what this is, because it looks different from buttons for similar functions in other areas of the community, and 2) might think it's something they shouldn't click on. 

Just one person's perspective of course. But this makes me less likely to use the articles app, along with a few other design features that (to be honest) seem a little clunky. (Please forgive me, my intent is not to offend although I know that sounds a little harsh.)

Again, thanks for the information and I appreciate the quick answer!
