# Resident Notifications

#### Notifications Tab

This is where you will record all CQC notifications that are linked to this resident. Click the ***NOTIFICATIONS*** tab to see a list of the notifications relating to this resident. You will be able to add, view and edit these records directly from here.

For example, to add a new notification record to a resident, just click the blue *<mark style="color:$primary;">**+ ADD NOTIFICATION**</mark>* button. This will then open the form to record details.

### Adding a Resident-Linked Notification

On the form, you will need to answer ALL the required questions. Note there may be multiple pages and you can navigate through each page using the ***PAGES*** bar, or by clicking the ***PREVIOUS*** and ***NEXT*** buttons.&#x20;

Note, some pages may ask you to add additional information. For example, if you click "YES" when asked if a safeguarding referral is required, a new page is displayed, and you will need to complete this information also.

Once you have entered all the required info (and any relevant optional info) you will be able to click the green *<mark style="color:$success;">**SUBMIT**</mark>* button to record it. If the green button is not available to you, this is because something required is missing.&#x20;

### Root Cause Analysis

Some notifications may require you to complete some RCA information. This is also found inside the form, and is shown if you have answered "YES" to the question *"Is a root cause analysis required?"*

It may be you are unable to fill in all the RCA details immediately. This is ok. You can click *<mark style="color:$warning;">**CANCEL**</mark>* and *<mark style="color:$primary;">**SAVE**</mark>*, and then come back to it later. On the front screen, it will show you that it is incomplete, and that the RCA needs to be completed also. Once all sections have been done, you can submit it fully.&#x20;

## 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://guide.guardiancaregov.com/documentation/residents-menu/resident-notifications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
