Collaboration Section: Notify

Notifications can be sent to indicate when new Calendar Events, Schedules, or the Swap Board are available.



How does this functionality help you? 

  • The organization can set notifications for employees and users. 
  • This is useful if the organization wants the employee or user to get an instant alert (email) for changes to their schedule, leave requests, or swap board employee posted shifts. 



About Notification Profile Options 

  • You can set up a profile for one employee/user or use mass update to set the same profile for all employees/users at all locations. 
  • Global Profile – sets up the same profile for all assigned locations. 
  • Location Profile – sets up a profile for just one location. You can set up different profiles for different locations. 
  • Daily Report - send an email report for each profile that has the option enabled according to the profile's settings.
  • An employee or user can change their own notifications at any time and over ride any notifications initially set by the organization.
  • Instant Alerts -- Send an email when their's a change to the schedule or leave based on the parameters you set up.
