The Developer Notices page records storefront API requests that asked for something your store cannot answer. Examples include a facet code that isn’t enabled, an attributes selector that couldn’t be parsed, or a context field that failed validation. Layers still serves these requests, but without the part it couldn’t honor. Each notice tells you exactly what was dropped and how to fix it. Viewing and managing developer notices requires the Stream live search logs permission, which is available to the Owner, Admin, and Developer roles.

​
What creates a notice

A notice is created when a storefront request degrades because of an integration problem, not a Layers outage. The four notice types are: Repeated occurrences of the same problem roll up into a single notice. Each row shows the offending subject (the facet code, selector, or context key), the request that triggered it, an occurrence count, and when it was first and last seen.

​
Notifications

When a notice opens for the first time, Layers sends one notification to the inbox in the dashboard header. Notifications go to every team member whose role includes the Stream live search logs permission. Occurrences are aggregated per problem type, so a theme deploy that trips several bad facet codes produces a single notification such as “6 facet codes requested but not enabled”. A notice that keeps recurring does not notify again — you are only notified when a notice opens or reopens.

​
Review and manage notices

  1. Go to Settings > Developer Notices, under Developer.
  2. Use the search box to filter by subject or problem code, or filter by status.
  3. Read the How To Fix column for the remediation, and the Request column to see which storefront call triggered the notice.
Each open notice offers two actions:
  • Resolve — mark the notice as fixed. If the storefront asks for the same thing again, the notice reopens automatically and you are notified again.
  • Dismiss — silence the notice permanently. It will not reopen or notify again, even if the problem keeps happening.
Select multiple rows to resolve or dismiss notices in bulk.

​
Automatic resolution

Layers resolves open notices automatically once they have not occurred for 7 days and clears their inbox notifications. Dismissed notices are never changed.
