 +Lite will display various notifications in the lower right of your display at different times.
  
 +For example when logging on to Lite, a notification will display a welcome message and the last IP address used to logon.
 +
 +{{logon_notification.png}}
 +
 +By default the notifications section of Lite blocks Library Health Warnings as this notification is more relevant in TapeMaster.

 +
 +It is possible to block other notifications, if required, by adding additional blocks of code for the required notifications. For example to remove, or block, the ''Logged-On'' notification modify the ''notifications'' block of code to include the following code.

 +<code>
