NP_NEW Property

Hello, according to the FNC SDK Help there is a property of the Notification object called NP_NEW. It says the value is 1 if the notification is new for the client. 0 otherwise. Can someone explain exactly what "New" means?

Does it mean never viewed before? Does it mean viewed but not downloaded? Does it mean viewed, downloaded but not installed?

I am looking for a way to show only those notifications that have not been downloaded yet?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Basically it means that the client has never viewed this update. Generally speaking, once this update has been interacted with in a meaningful way ( downloaded, user interaction, etc ), new should no longer be true.

You can definitely use the new value to see if this update has been seen, but keep in mind that unless you're using the FNC UI, you will want to do something like downloading the update to take off the new flag.

There are some ways to make a previously viewed update appear new, but those are particular to unregistering and re-registering a product on the machine.
