# Notification Manager
### Overview
The Notification Manager is what manages all the notifications.
* **Active Timer** - How long the notification stays alive for
* **Use Title** - If OFF, then the title will be blank
* **Use Desc** - If OFF, then the description will be blank
* **Notification GO** - The Notification gameobject that will be instantiated when a new notification is generated
* **Notification Parent** - The parent transform of where the notification is instantiated.
If unsure, refer to the above image and leave the settings as they are.
The Notification Manager is a singleton which means only one manager can exist at one given time. The benefit to this is that it makes creating a new notification really easy. Let's now do that...
### Creating a new notification
Creating a new notification yourself is easy.
You simply, from your own scripts, call the following function:
```csharp
NotificationManager.notificationManager.OpenNotification(string TitleToUse = "", string DescToUse = "");
```
So as a working example of what I've used in the Inventory System:
```csharp
NotificationManager.notificationManager.OpenNotification("ITEM ADDED", "Added: " + itemAdded.itemName);
```
Which in game, looks like:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://malbersanimations.gitbook.io/animal-controller/notification-manager.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
