I recently started receiving Action Alerts (the little "bell" on NXT's top screen menu) when I create an Action FOR MYSELF. I don't need to be notified when I do something. It adds clutter to my screen and wastes my time when I have to click on the bell to make the red alert notification disappear.
From my conversation with Chat Support, this is a recent change the developers made by adding this new alert capability to Actions when it was originally only for Receipts and Batches. Please either allow users to choose their own Notification/Alert preferences or reverse this change you made.
Yes, this (along with the "<Record type> edited" notice that hangs around forever in the bottom right corner) is clutter. I'm happy to have a confirmation that the action I took was saved, but it should disappear and not add to clutter.
Adding clutter to a user's experience causes them to disregard notifications. It's like the boy who cried wolf... if there's a notification that an action was added for a fundraiser, but it was the completed action they just added, they learn to disregard the notifications altogether.
I strongly second this request. Fundraisers do not need to receive alerts/notifications every time they enter an action assigned to themselves. They only need notifications when someone else has assigned an action to them.

I confused myself this morning when I recorded a phone call I made and the action notification popped up. It would be good if I could turn off notifications for actions assigned to me that I created myself.
