Atlas Update – As of November 20, 2024

The AHA is pleased to announce that a couple of highly requested enhancements to the Atlas platform have been implemented as of November 20, 2024. Please see below for additional details.

1. Every task listed under “Tasks to Complete” will now have a Dismiss option which when selected will remove the task from the list of “Tasks to Complete” in the Dashboard. Users now also have the option to select “Dismiss All” to remove all task notifications from the Dashboard.

2. When “Dismiss All” is selected an additional pop-up notification will appear, requesting confirmation that you wish to dismiss all task notifications. Select Dismiss to confirm you wish to remove all task notifications from your “Tasks to Complete” or select “Cancel” if you do not wish to remove all task notifications and want to return to your Dashboard.
