When a notification node is triggered in dashboard2, how can I set it to appear on all connected clients? IIRC it was a simple checkbox in dashboard1 but I cannot see a similar option in d2.

By default it will appear on all clients. The exception is if you trigger it from another dashboard node, in which case `msg._client` will contain the session information, and the notification will only appear on that client. If you want it to appear on all clients in this case then add a Change node Deleting `msg._client`.

Thank you very much, I did not see that in the documentation.
