+<p>Soft notifications are reminders that inform the user of events that have
+occurred in the user's absence, or while the mobile device user was busy with
+some application. Text and graphics, can be used to communicate the message
+to the user. Soft notifications are displayed in pop-up windows in the Idle
+state.</p>
+<p>The user can respond to the soft notification by using the softkeys. The
+left softkey is used for activating a function, for example opening a message
+that has arrived. The right softkey is used to discard the notification without
+taking any further action.</p>

+<p>Soft notifications are displayed only in the Idle state. If an event that
+causes a soft notification (for example, a missed call) occurs when an application
+is active, it may cause other kinds of UI events to notify the user, but if
+the user does not react to these, the soft notification appears only after
+the phone is put in the Idle state if the event still requires it.</p>
+<p>The application that launched a soft notification can control it and also
+discard it. It is possible to use the S60 key during a soft notification;
+in that case, the soft notification disappears, but reappears when the user
+returns to the Idle state, unless the application responsible for the notification
+has discarded it.</p>
+<p>Soft notifications can be displayed for the user in two different appearances:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p><b>Ungrouped soft notification:</b> These notifications contain one
+piece of information each. The appearance of the notification window is the
+same as that of a note. The example in the figure below is an
+ungrouped soft notification. </p></li>
+<li><p><b>Grouped soft notification:</b> Many different items of information
+can be combined into one soft notification where the items are displayed as
+a list. The user can pick up one of the items at a time and react to it. The
+appearance of this soft notification type is the same as the appearance of
+a List query (see <xref href="GUID-7B275129-5EF7-4B27-B603-3BDE2C650A93.dita">Queries</xref>).</p></li>
+</ul>
+<fig id="GUID-87927C7F-7AFE-40CB-AEDF-FD5987A7A219">
+<title>Grouped soft notification. The height of the window is dynamic and
+depends on the number of lines in the list.</title>
