# NotificationSeverity

Description: This generic table is used to configure presentation behaviour for the different notification severities.

!!! warning "Deprecated NotificationSeverity Fields"

    Starting with version 12.0, the `Color` column replaces `BackgroundColor` and `ForegroundColor`. The two columns remain available, but are deprecated and no longer mandatory. They will be removed in a future version.

    Legacy Master Data files uploaded in version 12.0 must include the `Color` column. The new Master Data Template already includes this field. If you are using an older Master Data file, add the `Color` column manually before uploading it. Otherwise, the upload will fail. For instructions on downloading the template, see [[master-data-packages-admin]].

The **NotificationSeverity** table has the following fields:

| Field | Description | Key | Mandatory | Reference Type | Comments |
| ---- | ----- | -- | -- | -- | ---- |
| **Severity** |The name of the severity| Yes | Yes | NotificationSeverity | |
| **Rank** |An indicator of the severity rank, so that it can be sorted in the GUI – the highest, the more severe.| No | Yes |  | |
| **BackgroundColor** |Background color, to be used in the GUI.| No | No |  | |
| **ForegroundColor** |Foreground color, to be used in the GUI.| No | No |  | |
| **Color** |Color to be used in the GUI.| No | Yes |  | |
| **OnNewDisplayMode** |The presentation behaviour when a new notification of this severity is created (and GUI is notified).| No | Yes |  | |
| **DisplayTime** |For the expand (toast mode), it defines the number of seconds the notification stays open in the GUI. It only applies if OnNewDisplayMode = Expand. If not defined or set to zero, the notification stays open forever until the user explicitly closes it.| No | No |  | |
